WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.240
 Morning, everyone.

00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:02.300
 Oh, nice and loud.

00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:02.859
 Thanks, Alex.

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:03.780
 Thank you very much.

00:00:05.620 --> 00:00:06.540
 Just to reiterate,

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:09.380
 for the retreat in December,

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:32.200
 How many people can I help and support

00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:33.380
 and come as well?

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.100
 Okay, so that's part of what we do as a family.

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:36.299
 So do not feel as though,

00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:37.280
 oh, that's going to be the problem.

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:38.480
 Please do not let that be the problem.

00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:42.380
 Anyway, last week we had a climax,

00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:44.719
 the climax of Genesis 22,

00:00:45.219 --> 00:00:50.460
 of Abraham finally offering Isaac up to the altar.

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:52.980
 I watched a movie this week,

00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:54.700
 which also had a very strong climax,

00:00:55.060 --> 00:00:55.480
 The Odyssey.

00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:57.719
 Can you put your hand up if you've watched The Odyssey?

00:00:58.460 --> 00:00:59.299
 Gauzy watched it?

00:00:59.519 --> 00:00:59.920
 Yes.

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.060
 Juju and I are actually talking about,

00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.319
 can I have the feedback down a little bit on the speaker?

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:05.079
 I'm hearing,

00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:07.840
 we're talking about starting a movie club

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:08.680
 to talk about this film.

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:10.260
 It's so good.

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.700
 As climaxes go,

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:13.579
 it's pretty strong.

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:15.180
 I won't spoil anything,

00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:15.780
 though, again,

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:17.560
 I've told Gabs this before you watched it.

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.000
 You've had 3,000 years to find out about the story,

00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.260
 so you deserve to have his support for you

00:01:22.260 --> 00:01:23.260
 if you still haven't watched it.

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:26.539
 The climax last week was pretty epic.

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:27.819
 You have Abraham,

00:01:27.939 --> 00:01:29.539
 who's waited for 25 years

00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:30.180
 for this son.

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.380
 And then finally,

00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:32.100
 he does it,

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:33.860
 and I share the story about my dad

00:01:33.860 --> 00:01:34.940
 before he passed,

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.400
 kneeling down at the cross

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:37.560
 in our church,

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:38.219
 just in tears,

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:38.740
 telling me,

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:39.000
 James,

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:40.380
 promise me one thing.

00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:41.580
 Focus on him.

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:42.620
 Be true to your calling.

00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:44.280
 Say yes when he calls you to go,

00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.060
 and that's been the marker of my life

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:47.439
 all the way till now.

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:49.219
 I imagined Abraham and Isaac

00:01:49.219 --> 00:01:51.000
 at the cross at Calvary

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.460
 when Abraham sees Jesus on the cross.

00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:54.799
 Imagining, by the way,

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:55.560
 this does not happen.

00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:56.200
 Different time.

00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:57.379
 But just imagining,

00:01:58.740 --> 00:01:59.960
 given what he had gone through

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:00.939
 in Genesis 22,

00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:02.879
 given that he was willing

00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:03.659
 to give his son,

00:02:03.740 --> 00:02:04.420
 whom he loved,

00:02:04.620 --> 00:02:05.240
 to God,

00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:06.519
 and then seeing God

00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:07.819
 do the exact same thing,

00:02:07.839 --> 00:02:08.039
 going,

00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:08.719
 now I know,

00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:09.319
 now I know,

00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:09.819
 this God,

00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:10.419
 this Father,

00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:11.879
 loves us so dearly

00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:13.120
 that he would not withhold

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:14.340
 his only son.

00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:15.759
 Thankfully for Abraham,

00:02:16.099 --> 00:02:17.560
 he offers up Isaac,

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:18.439
 but then God says,

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:18.819
 no,

00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:19.579
 stop.

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:21.159
 I have a replacement for you.

00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.039
 I have a substitute for you.

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.280
 There's a ram there

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:25.519
 that you can use instead.

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:26.780
 But at the cross,

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:27.319
 you see,

00:02:27.519 --> 00:02:28.459
 God does not say,

00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:28.840
 stop.

00:02:30.259 --> 00:02:30.719
 He says,

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.060
 in fact,

00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:32.759
 he says nothing.

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:34.500
 Psalm 22,

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:36.500
 Jesus quotes the words,

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:38.159
 why,

00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:38.719
 my God,

00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:39.099
 my God,

00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:40.400
 why have you forsaken me?

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:41.599
 For our sake,

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.120
 because of his love for us,

00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:44.819
 he turns away from his son,

00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:45.979
 whom he loves,

00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:49.259
 so that we can live again.

00:02:50.079 --> 00:02:51.139
 That was the climax

00:02:51.139 --> 00:02:52.579
 of last week.

00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:55.639
 And going back to the Odyssey,

00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.300
 one of the things

00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:58.139
 that really struck me,

00:02:58.259 --> 00:02:58.560
 of course,

00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.340
 who knows whether Odysseus

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:01.180
 was a real person

00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:02.479
 or not.

00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:03.900
 But the story itself,

00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:05.140
 what Nolan tried to do

00:03:05.140 --> 00:03:05.960
 was just depict

00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:06.520
 this character

00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.500
 who had gone on a journey,

00:03:09.539 --> 00:03:10.340
 was a sojourner,

00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:11.319
 but also was filled

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:11.759
 with grief.

00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:13.180
 Right?

00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:14.099
 And that's kind of

00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:15.560
 what carried him through

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:16.860
 all the way.

00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.240
 It made me think

00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.520
 the journeys that we're on

00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:20.140
 and the grief

00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:20.759
 that we hold,

00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:22.599
 whether there's moments

00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:23.560
 where there are true

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.159
 gladness,

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:25.659
 joy,

00:03:26.140 --> 00:03:27.080
 of what God's given us,

00:03:27.140 --> 00:03:28.819
 but you and me

00:03:28.819 --> 00:03:29.599
 would both be lying

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.239
 if we didn't say

00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:30.979
 that our lives

00:03:30.979 --> 00:03:32.739
 also bring us

00:03:32.739 --> 00:03:33.379
 with grief

00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:34.879
 nearly every day.

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.079
 And we look here now,

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:38.079
 post-climax,

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:39.459
 we see a really

00:03:39.459 --> 00:03:40.819
 interesting passage here

00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:41.579
 where,

00:03:42.019 --> 00:03:42.479
 actually,

00:03:42.979 --> 00:03:43.740
 Abraham deals

00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:44.900
 with grief.

00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:47.319
 I always have a saying,

00:03:47.419 --> 00:03:47.719
 which is,

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:49.579
 I really love

00:03:49.579 --> 00:03:50.379
 talking to people

00:03:50.379 --> 00:03:51.180
 who are acquainted

00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:51.919
 with grief.

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.319
 Not because of any

00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:53.859
 weird thing,

00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:54.659
 but because when I look

00:03:54.659 --> 00:03:55.519
 into their eyes,

00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.240
 I know that they

00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:58.360
 know that this life

00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:59.300
 is not all there is.

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:00.880
 That there's a soberness

00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:01.300
 to it.

00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:02.600
 There's a clarity

00:04:02.600 --> 00:04:03.600
 to life

00:04:03.600 --> 00:04:04.080
 that I think

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.100
 only grief

00:04:05.100 --> 00:04:06.260
 can give you.

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:08.939
 And you see here

00:04:08.939 --> 00:04:10.740
 what Abraham does

00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:11.240
 with grief

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:12.280
 is he points

00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:12.920
 to eternity.

00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:13.879
 He points himself

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:14.540
 to eternity,

00:04:14.540 --> 00:04:15.680
 and it's through

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.019
 a seemingly

00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:17.920
 very mundane,

00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:18.639
 trivial,

00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:19.980
 real estate

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:21.000
 transaction.

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:22.660
 And that's what

00:04:22.660 --> 00:04:22.980
 we're going to be

00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:23.399
 doing today.

00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:24.500
 We had the climax

00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:25.379
 of Genesis 22,

00:04:25.899 --> 00:04:27.339
 and now we come down

00:04:27.339 --> 00:04:28.899
 to something that's

00:04:28.899 --> 00:04:30.420
 seemingly very earthly,

00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:31.399
 very mundane,

00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:32.220
 and very tragic,

00:04:32.779 --> 00:04:33.319
 and we're going to see

00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:33.959
 what the Lord has

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:34.540
 in store for us.

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:35.040
 I'm going to invite

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.540
 Sonny to come up

00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:37.480
 to minister to us

00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:38.439
 and read to us

00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:39.019
 the Word of God.

00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:40.319
 So as per our tradition,

00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:41.480
 can I invite you

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.079
 to stand out of reverence

00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.439
 and awe for the Word

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:45.040
 that's about to be

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:45.720
 spoken over us.

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.019
 Genesis 23.

00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:50.139
 Genesis 23.

00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:51.759
 Sarah's Death and Burial.

00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:54.159
 Sarah lived 127 years.

00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:55.560
 These were the years

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:56.399
 in the life of Sarah.

00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:57.819
 And Sarah died

00:04:57.819 --> 00:04:58.879
 at Kiri at Arba,

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:00.060
 that is Huron,

00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:01.560
 in the land of Canaan.

00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:03.459
 And Abraham went in

00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:04.959
 to mourn for Sarah

00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.159
 and to weep for her.

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:07.860
 And Abraham rose up

00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:08.919
 from before his dead

00:05:08.919 --> 00:05:10.860
 and said to the Hittites,

00:05:11.099 --> 00:05:12.159
 I am a sojourner

00:05:12.159 --> 00:05:13.639
 and foreigner among you.

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:15.479
 Give me property among you

00:05:15.479 --> 00:05:16.579
 for a burying place

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:18.240
 that I may bury my dead

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:19.399
 out of my sight.

00:05:20.139 --> 00:05:21.000
 The Hittites answered

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:21.439
 Abraham,

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:22.019
 Abraham,

00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.159
 hear us, my lord.

00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:26.360
 You are a prince of God

00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.240
 among us.

00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:28.259
 Bury your dead

00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:29.779
 in the choices

00:05:29.779 --> 00:05:30.680
 of our tombs.

00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.500
 None of us

00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:32.819
 will withhold

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:34.120
 from you his tomb

00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:34.959
 to hinder you

00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.039
 from burying your dead.

00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:37.819
 Abraham rose

00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:38.279
 and bowed

00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:38.959
 to the Hittites,

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.479
 the people of the land.

00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:41.839
 And he said to them,

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.139
 If you are willing

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:44.279
 that I should bury

00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:45.860
 my dead out of my sight,

00:05:46.139 --> 00:05:46.620
 hear me

00:05:46.620 --> 00:05:48.240
 and entreat for me,

00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:48.939
 Ephron,

00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:50.000
 the son of Zohar,

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.280
 that he may give me

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:53.000
 the cave of Machpelah,

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:54.500
 which he owns.

00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:55.720
 It is at the end

00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:56.379
 of his field.

00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:57.740
 For the full price,

00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.480
 let him give it to me

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:00.560
 in your presence

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:01.180
 as property

00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:02.399
 for a burying place.

00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.079
 Now Ephron

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:04.680
 was sitting

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:05.840
 among the Hittites

00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:06.939
 and Ephron,

00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:07.439
 the Hittite,

00:06:07.539 --> 00:06:08.399
 answered Abraham

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.879
 in the hearing

00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:10.619
 of the Hittites

00:06:10.619 --> 00:06:12.039
 of all who went

00:06:12.039 --> 00:06:13.139
 in at the gate

00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:13.779
 of his city.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.319
 No, my lord,

00:06:15.479 --> 00:06:15.959
 hear me.

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:17.319
 I give you

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:18.019
 the field

00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:18.839
 and I give you

00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.019
 the cave that is in it.

00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:20.979
 In the sight

00:06:20.979 --> 00:06:21.659
 of the sons

00:06:21.659 --> 00:06:22.299
 of my people,

00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:23.399
 I give it to you.

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.539
 Bury your dead.

00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:27.319
 Then Abraham

00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.199
 bowed down

00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:28.959
 before the people

00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:29.519
 of the land

00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:30.759
 and he said to Ephron

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:31.599
 in the hearing

00:06:31.599 --> 00:06:32.159
 of the people

00:06:32.159 --> 00:06:32.819
 of the land,

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:34.379
 But if you will,

00:06:34.579 --> 00:06:35.059
 hear me.

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:36.339
 I give the price

00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:36.939
 of the field.

00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:38.480
 Accept it for me

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:39.579
 that I may bury

00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:40.519
 my dead there.

00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:42.480
 Ephron answered Abraham,

00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:44.019
 My lord,

00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:44.839
 listen to me.

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:45.800
 A piece of land

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:46.839
 worth four hundred

00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.040
 shekels of silver,

00:06:48.579 --> 00:06:49.379
 what is that

00:06:49.379 --> 00:06:50.240
 between you and me?

00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:51.340
 Bury your dead.

00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:53.000
 Abraham listened

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:53.600
 to Ephron

00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:54.800
 and Abraham weighed

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.800
 out for Ephron

00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:57.259
 the silver

00:06:57.259 --> 00:06:58.100
 that he had named

00:06:58.100 --> 00:06:59.079
 in the hearing

00:06:59.079 --> 00:06:59.840
 of the Hittites.

00:07:00.340 --> 00:07:00.879
 Four hundred

00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:01.740
 shekels of silver.

00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:03.379
 According to the weights

00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:04.699
 the current

00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:05.680
 among the merchants.

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:07.360
 So the field

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:07.819
 of Ephron

00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:08.480
 and Machpelah

00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:09.240
 which was

00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.199
 to the east

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:11.079
 of Mamre

00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:12.779
 the field

00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:14.159
 with the cave

00:07:14.159 --> 00:07:14.860
 that was in it

00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:15.819
 and all the trees

00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:16.740
 that were in the field

00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:18.480
 throughout its whole area

00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:19.379
 was made over

00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:19.959
 to Abraham

00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:20.719
 as a possession

00:07:20.719 --> 00:07:21.920
 in the presence

00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:22.659
 of the Hittites

00:07:22.659 --> 00:07:24.100
 before all

00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:24.980
 who went in

00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:25.680
 at the gate

00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:26.259
 of his city.

00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:27.319
 After this

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.540
 Abraham buried

00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:28.819
 Sarah,

00:07:28.899 --> 00:07:29.300
 his wife,

00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:29.819
 in the cave

00:07:29.819 --> 00:07:30.319
 of the field

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.000
 of Machpelah

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:32.199
 east of Mamre

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.079
 that is

00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:33.680
 Huron

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.259
 in the land

00:07:35.259 --> 00:07:35.819
 of Canaan

00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:36.980
 the field

00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:37.759
 and the cave

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:38.500
 that is in it

00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:39.420
 were made over

00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:40.300
 to Abraham

00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:40.939
 as property

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:41.920
 for a burying place

00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.220
 by the Hittites.

00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:44.100
 This is the word

00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:44.480
 of the Lord.

00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:46.580
 Thank you,

00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:46.759
 Sonny.

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.460
 Please take a seat.

00:07:50.840 --> 00:07:51.060
 Alina,

00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:51.620
 when you read

00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:51.939
 the Bible

00:07:51.939 --> 00:07:52.500
 do you find

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:53.439
 every passage

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:54.080
 that you read

00:07:54.080 --> 00:07:55.840
 just exciting

00:07:55.840 --> 00:07:56.580
 and invigorating

00:07:56.580 --> 00:07:57.080
 and something

00:07:57.080 --> 00:07:57.840
 that you can take away?

00:07:58.159 --> 00:07:58.979
 That was not me

00:07:58.979 --> 00:07:59.719
 on Monday morning.

00:07:59.979 --> 00:08:00.899
 When I read that passage

00:08:00.899 --> 00:08:01.719
 again I was like

00:08:01.719 --> 00:08:02.239
 okay we had

00:08:02.239 --> 00:08:02.779
 just such a

00:08:02.779 --> 00:08:04.099
 great time

00:08:04.099 --> 00:08:04.500
 going through

00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:05.339
 Genesis 22.

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:06.560
 One passage

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:07.000
 that everyone

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:07.839
 is familiar with

00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.119
 and then we reached

00:08:09.119 --> 00:08:10.179
 23 and I'm like

00:08:10.179 --> 00:08:10.679
 okay well where

00:08:10.679 --> 00:08:11.500
 do we go with this?

00:08:11.779 --> 00:08:12.419
 What is it Lord

00:08:12.419 --> 00:08:12.979
 that you are trying

00:08:12.979 --> 00:08:13.539
 to show us

00:08:13.539 --> 00:08:14.219
 in this?

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:15.679
 But before that though

00:08:15.679 --> 00:08:16.859
 if you have your Bibles

00:08:16.859 --> 00:08:18.139
 which I do hope you do

00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:19.019
 I haven't shamed people

00:08:19.019 --> 00:08:19.399
 for a while

00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:20.339
 paper Bibles.

00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:20.899
 Paper Bibles

00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:21.679
 is the way to heaven

00:08:21.679 --> 00:08:22.759
 is the way to salvation.

00:08:23.339 --> 00:08:24.179
 The apps will not

00:08:24.179 --> 00:08:24.639
 get you there

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.139
 unfortunately.

00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:26.279
 That's what it says

00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:26.739
 in the Bible.

00:08:26.979 --> 00:08:27.419
 You should read it.

00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:28.679
 Genesis chapter

00:08:28.679 --> 00:08:29.659
 if it's your first time

00:08:29.659 --> 00:08:30.199
 here I'm joking.

00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:32.360
 Kind of.

00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:33.120
 Pass it aggressively.

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:33.899
 Now

00:08:33.899 --> 00:08:35.860
 the end of 22

00:08:35.860 --> 00:08:36.720
 is really interesting.

00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:37.860
 22 is this

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:38.899
 fascinating passage

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:39.159
 right?

00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:40.879
 But for some reason

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.019
 the author decides

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:42.539
 to leave

00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:43.259
 a couple sentences

00:08:43.259 --> 00:08:43.759
 at the end

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:44.659
 just after the whole

00:08:44.659 --> 00:08:45.339
 epic incident

00:08:45.339 --> 00:08:46.240
 on the hill.

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.820
 and then he says

00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:48.759
 now after these things

00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:49.779
 it was told to Abraham

00:08:49.779 --> 00:08:50.180
 behold

00:08:50.180 --> 00:08:51.419
 Milca also has born

00:08:51.419 --> 00:08:52.259
 children to your brother

00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:52.680
 Nahor

00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:53.919
 Uz his firstborn

00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:54.680
 Buzz his brother

00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:55.879
 Chemuel the father

00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:56.539
 of Abraham

00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:57.500
 Hesed

00:08:57.500 --> 00:08:58.159
 Hazo

00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:58.519
 anyway

00:08:58.519 --> 00:08:59.600
 I'll hold this to names

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.419
 and moreover

00:09:00.419 --> 00:09:01.019
 his concubine

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:01.700
 whose name was

00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:02.440
 Rumah

00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:03.440
 bore Teber

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.019
 Gaham

00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:04.480
 Tahash

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.120
 and Maka.

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:06.139
 Isn't it interesting

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:06.960
 that that's just a random

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:07.740
 piece of information

00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:08.519
 there that he leaves

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.100
 in one of the most

00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:09.879
 key chapters

00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:11.060
 in the whole Bible.

00:09:11.539 --> 00:09:12.159
 I don't know if you

00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:12.639
 find it interesting.

00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:13.039
 I did.

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:15.159
 Interestingly because

00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:15.960
 his brother Nahor

00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:17.659
 25 years ago

00:09:17.659 --> 00:09:18.580
 was not called out

00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:19.179
 of Ur

00:09:19.179 --> 00:09:20.220
 so he didn't have

00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:20.740
 to leave home.

00:09:21.199 --> 00:09:21.819
 He stayed home

00:09:21.819 --> 00:09:22.439
 he didn't have to

00:09:22.439 --> 00:09:23.159
 take a leap of faith

00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:23.879
 to go out

00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:24.539
 and away.

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:26.419
 Almost just to rub

00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:27.419
 salt in the wounds

00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:28.919
 is Abraham

00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:29.639
 has just offered

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:30.000
 his son

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:30.620
 his only son

00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:31.080
 whom he loves

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:31.840
 his only chance

00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:32.319
 of livelihood

00:09:32.319 --> 00:09:33.799
 his social future

00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:34.779
 is based on

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:35.379
 this one son

00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:36.299
 he offers him up

00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:36.939
 and then suddenly

00:09:36.939 --> 00:09:38.000
 he receives news

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:38.960
 from home

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:39.799
 saying hey

00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:39.980
 do you remember

00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:40.340
 that brother

00:09:40.340 --> 00:09:40.980
 that you left

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:41.539
 who actually doesn't

00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:41.980
 follow God

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:42.500
 and doesn't believe

00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:42.779
 in God

00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:43.220
 and is still

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:43.740
 worshipping the

00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:43.919
 moons

00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:44.899
 he has so many

00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:45.200
 kids

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:46.639
 is basically

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.139
 what it's saying.

00:09:48.179 --> 00:09:49.100
 Isn't it fascinating?

00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:50.179
 When you take

00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:50.779
 that leap of faith

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:51.419
 to follow God

00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:52.080
 you don't know

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:52.559
 where he's going

00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:52.860
 to lead

00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:53.320
 you don't know

00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:53.860
 how he's going

00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:54.960
 to provide for you

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.159
 and most often

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.539
 it doesn't make sense.

00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:00.360
 Abraham's like

00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:00.539
 wait

00:10:00.539 --> 00:10:01.940
 I was told

00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:03.159
 to leave my home

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.360
 and then you'll

00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.159
 bless me with

00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:05.539
 family

00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:06.860
 and my family land

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.120
 right now

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:08.600
 I don't really

00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.259
 have much

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:10.759
 whereas my brother

00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:11.759
 Sarah

00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:12.080
 who didn't

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.059
 listen to you

00:10:14.059 --> 00:10:14.720
 doesn't have

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.220
 a relationship

00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:15.740
 with you

00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:16.720
 is at home

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:17.539
 living at large

00:10:17.539 --> 00:10:18.779
 with 12 kids

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:19.919
 and tribes

00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.159
 how's that fair?

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:23.480
 What does that

00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:23.980
 even mean?

00:10:24.419 --> 00:10:24.720
 Don't you think

00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.080
 it's funny

00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:25.860
 that the author

00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:26.580
 here just seems

00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:27.620
 to have a sense

00:10:27.620 --> 00:10:28.299
 of humour here

00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:29.120
 who's kind of

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:29.439
 just showing

00:10:29.439 --> 00:10:29.679
 hey

00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.240
 what we see

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:31.659
 in this world

00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:32.559
 is not all there is

00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:33.899
 there is more

00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:34.580
 to it

00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:35.500
 and then sadly

00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:36.420
 23 starts

00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:37.040
 Sarah lived

00:10:37.040 --> 00:10:38.240
 127 years

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:38.940
 these were the years

00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:39.420
 of the life

00:10:39.420 --> 00:10:39.860
 of Sarah

00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:41.360
 and then

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.520
 she dies

00:10:42.520 --> 00:10:43.520
 is what it says

00:10:43.520 --> 00:10:45.000
 the consequence

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:45.660
 of the curse

00:10:45.660 --> 00:10:46.300
 even though there

00:10:46.300 --> 00:10:46.980
 are promises

00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:47.920
 that are made

00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:48.900
 to him and his family

00:10:48.900 --> 00:10:50.200
 there is the consequence

00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:51.000
 of this curse

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.320
 which still remains

00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:52.940
 which is that

00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:53.940
 we will die

00:10:53.940 --> 00:10:54.820
 Genesis 25

00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:55.600
 that whole list

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.200
 of descendants

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:57.320
 and he died

00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:58.020
 and he died

00:10:58.020 --> 00:10:58.759
 and he died

00:10:58.759 --> 00:10:59.580
 and you'll die

00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:00.400
 and you'll die

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:01.199
 and you'll die

00:11:01.199 --> 00:11:02.079
 and I'll die

00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:03.799
 and we will all

00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:04.799
 die

00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.720
 isn't it sobering

00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:08.559
 when we talk

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.000
 about acts of faith

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:10.699
 when we talk

00:11:10.699 --> 00:11:11.379
 about trusting

00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:11.879
 when we talk

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:12.279
 about choosing

00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:13.199
 faith over fear

00:11:13.199 --> 00:11:14.419
 we also still

00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:15.000
 must acknowledge

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:15.699
 that there is

00:11:15.699 --> 00:11:16.439
 death

00:11:16.439 --> 00:11:18.240
 death is still

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.120
 very much part

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:19.879
 of the picture here

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.299
 in fact

00:11:20.299 --> 00:11:21.179
 Abraham's in a bit

00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:22.019
 of a weird place now

00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:23.519
 he had two promises

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.019
 given to him

00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:24.500
 one that you'll have

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:25.120
 family and two

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:25.819
 your family will have

00:11:25.819 --> 00:11:26.079
 land

00:11:26.079 --> 00:11:27.039
 he's received one

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.360
 through just Isaac

00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:29.480
 but he's not

00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:30.159
 got any land

00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:31.159
 and then it carries

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:31.579
 on here

00:11:31.579 --> 00:11:32.059
 and it talks

00:11:32.059 --> 00:11:32.579
 about it

00:11:32.579 --> 00:11:34.159
 verse 3

00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:35.079
 he goes to the Hittites

00:11:35.079 --> 00:11:36.259
 which at that point

00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:37.039
 were again

00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.299
 a prominent people

00:11:38.299 --> 00:11:39.699
 along with the Egyptians

00:11:39.699 --> 00:11:40.539
 along with the

00:11:40.539 --> 00:11:41.480
 you know

00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:42.439
 eventually with the Greeks

00:11:42.439 --> 00:11:43.179
 so the Hittites

00:11:43.179 --> 00:11:43.779
 were a big group

00:11:43.779 --> 00:11:45.000
 and so they were

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:45.699
 the ones who were

00:11:45.699 --> 00:11:46.379
 kind of owning

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:47.379
 Canaan right now

00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:48.219
 and so Abraham

00:11:48.219 --> 00:11:48.879
 goes to them

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:49.480
 and says this

00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:50.799
 I am a sojourner

00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:51.419
 and foreigner

00:11:51.419 --> 00:11:52.059
 among you

00:11:52.059 --> 00:11:53.079
 give me property

00:11:53.079 --> 00:11:53.519
 among you

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:54.360
 for a burying place

00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.039
 that I may bury

00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:55.439
 my dead

00:11:55.439 --> 00:11:56.439
 out of my sight

00:11:56.439 --> 00:11:57.159
 brackets

00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:58.059
 God had promised

00:11:58.059 --> 00:11:58.679
 me family

00:11:58.679 --> 00:11:59.419
 and he had promised

00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:00.039
 my family

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:00.879
 all of this land

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.559
 but actually

00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:02.419
 up until this point

00:12:02.419 --> 00:12:03.120
 I do not own

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:03.980
 a single piece of land

00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:05.740
 I only have one son

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:06.899
 and now my wife

00:12:06.899 --> 00:12:07.399
 has died

00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:08.120
 and actually

00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:08.819
 when we left

00:12:08.819 --> 00:12:10.360
 26 years ago

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.120
 I promised her

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:11.679
 I told her

00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:12.419
 God said

00:12:12.419 --> 00:12:13.199
 that we would have

00:12:13.199 --> 00:12:14.159
 lots and lots of land

00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:14.819
 and lots and lots

00:12:14.819 --> 00:12:15.339
 of descendants

00:12:15.339 --> 00:12:16.199
 but sadly

00:12:16.199 --> 00:12:17.959
 she's now dead

00:12:17.959 --> 00:12:19.839
 and she had two sons

00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:21.159
 one who we sent away

00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:22.379
 well Ishmael

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:23.120
 wasn't really her son

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:23.860
 but then Abraham

00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:24.559
 I offered up

00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:25.079
 and now

00:12:25.079 --> 00:12:26.120
 she's gone

00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.179
 and I

00:12:27.179 --> 00:12:27.799
 as a husband

00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:29.100
 was not able

00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:29.799
 to show her

00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:30.299
 what God

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:31.179
 had promised us

00:12:31.179 --> 00:12:33.480
 I want us to feel

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:33.919
 a little bit

00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:34.519
 of just the

00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.000
 pain and heartache

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.779
 that Abraham

00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:37.440
 would have gone through

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.000
 maybe his husband

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:40.779
 sits with wife

00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:41.960
 his wife sits with husband

00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:42.279
 going

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:43.240
 what were the dreams

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:43.759
 that we had

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.000
 to sail away

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.179
 to enjoy

00:12:46.179 --> 00:12:46.779
 our future

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:47.279
 together

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.580
 all the things

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:48.860
 that God

00:12:48.860 --> 00:12:49.500
 had promised us

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:49.779
 together

00:12:49.779 --> 00:12:50.940
 and now we sit

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:51.820
 and now he sits

00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:52.600
 here with grief

00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:53.480
 going

00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.740
 didn't get any of it

00:12:55.740 --> 00:12:57.060
 couldn't even

00:12:57.060 --> 00:12:57.820
 give my wife

00:12:57.820 --> 00:12:58.519
 a house

00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.879
 is what he's saying

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:02.700
 I'm a sojourner

00:13:02.700 --> 00:13:03.740
 and a foreigner

00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:04.960
 and I couldn't

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:05.379
 give her

00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:06.180
 a house

00:13:06.180 --> 00:13:06.879
 could you

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:07.180
 at least

00:13:07.180 --> 00:13:08.019
 give me a cave

00:13:08.019 --> 00:13:09.220
 to bury her

00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:12.440
 they respond

00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:12.639
 to him

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:12.960
 by saying

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:13.840
 verse 6

00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:14.600
 here is my lord

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.259
 you are a prince

00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:15.540
 of God

00:13:15.540 --> 00:13:15.879
 among us

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.360
 bury your dead

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:16.820
 in the choices

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:17.480
 of our tombs

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:18.200
 none of us

00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.279
 will withhold

00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:19.860
 from you

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:20.300
 his tomb

00:13:20.300 --> 00:13:20.879
 to hinder you

00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:21.420
 from burying

00:13:21.420 --> 00:13:22.340
 your dead

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:23.379
 so they like him

00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:24.259
 so again

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:25.000
 he's a wealthy man

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:25.720
 remember he's a wealthy

00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:26.480
 Genesis 13

00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:27.259
 he had so much money

00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:27.759
 he had to split

00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.259
 from his nephew

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:28.960
 so he's got a lot

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:29.480
 of people

00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:30.080
 a lot of cattle

00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.660
 and of course

00:13:31.660 --> 00:13:32.460
 a lot of tents

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:33.560
 in the camp of Abraham

00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:34.580
 and they know him

00:13:34.580 --> 00:13:34.960
 and they say

00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:35.600
 hey you're a prince

00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:36.019
 of God

00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:37.259
 wouldn't that be great

00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:38.080
 to just be described

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.960
 as that

00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:40.340
 by people outside

00:13:40.340 --> 00:13:40.879
 of the faith

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:41.800
 there's something

00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:42.280
 about you

00:13:42.280 --> 00:13:43.019
 that is just different

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:44.500
 you're a prince of God

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:45.920
 and hey you do

00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:46.780
 look we know

00:13:46.780 --> 00:13:47.259
 you've been living

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:47.840
 a sojourner

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.860
 we know you're a foreigner

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:49.259
 which means

00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:50.200
 we don't really want

00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:50.840
 to give you our land

00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:51.600
 but hey

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.840
 just take your pick

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:54.960
 where do you want

00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:55.800
 to bury your wife

00:13:55.800 --> 00:13:56.960
 you do that

00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.840
 and so then

00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.560
 he says to them

00:13:58.560 --> 00:13:59.620
 if you are willing

00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:00.240
 that I should bury

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.159
 my dead out of my sight

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.940
 hear me and entreat

00:14:01.940 --> 00:14:02.320
 for me

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.139
 Ephron the son of Zohar

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:04.759
 that he may give

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:05.759
 the cave of Machpelah

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:06.379
 actually

00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:07.139
 something else

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:07.960
 just interesting here

00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:08.980
 is he's a foreigner

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:10.200
 he's a sojourner

00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.019
 and yet he still

00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:12.340
 acts with integrity

00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:14.240
 at every step of the way

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.040
 to the point

00:14:16.040 --> 00:14:16.560
 where other people

00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:17.080
 on the outside

00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:17.660
 look in and go

00:14:17.660 --> 00:14:18.379
 you're a good guy

00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:19.899
 I would love

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:20.439
 for us all

00:14:20.439 --> 00:14:20.720
 to be there

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.100
 I would love

00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:21.600
 for people

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.159
 to look at me

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:22.600
 outside

00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:23.639
 in that same way

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.019
 and so he

00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:26.539
 he goes

00:14:26.539 --> 00:14:27.700
 there is actually

00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:28.360
 one piece of land

00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:29.600
 actually it's just a cave

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.120
 it's the end of this field

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:31.939
 owned by a guy

00:14:31.939 --> 00:14:32.439
 called Ephron

00:14:32.439 --> 00:14:33.879
 if you can

00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.120
 speak to Ephron

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:35.899
 and I can buy

00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:36.799
 that cave off him

00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:37.720
 so I can bury my wife

00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:38.340
 that's all I want

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:39.720
 brackets

00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:40.439
 despite God

00:14:40.439 --> 00:14:40.919
 has promised me

00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:41.259
 so much

00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:41.799
 yeah I'm not getting

00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:42.139
 any of it

00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:42.620
 I'm just going to

00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:43.240
 buy the cave

00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.519
 verse 10

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.879
 now Ephron

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:47.740
 was sitting

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:48.419
 among the Hittites

00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:49.240
 and Ephron the Hittite

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:49.899
 answered Abraham

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:50.539
 in the hearing

00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:51.019
 of the Hittites

00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:52.600
 of all who went in

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:53.340
 at the gate of the city

00:14:53.340 --> 00:14:54.539
 remember the gate of the city

00:14:54.539 --> 00:14:55.659
 is a very important place

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:56.799
 remember Lot

00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.000
 was hanging out

00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:58.779
 at the gate of the city

00:14:58.779 --> 00:15:00.120
 it's the place

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.060
 where all the transactions

00:15:01.060 --> 00:15:01.419
 are done

00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:02.299
 okay

00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:03.560
 this is

00:15:03.560 --> 00:15:04.860
 this is the interactive

00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:06.060
 brokers of the day

00:15:06.060 --> 00:15:07.940
 and this is where

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:08.740
 they sit and wait

00:15:08.740 --> 00:15:09.440
 and actually everything

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:10.379
 is made official

00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:11.620
 and exchanged here

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:12.860
 everyone knows about it

00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:14.300
 so Ephron is sat there

00:15:14.300 --> 00:15:14.919
 and he's going

00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:15.220
 okay

00:15:15.220 --> 00:15:17.200
 and then a fascinating

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.379
 interaction happens

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:18.879
 and this is where

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.279
 it gets into

00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:20.399
 literal real estate

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.460
 business transaction here

00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:22.620
 and he says this

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:23.060
 no Lord

00:15:23.060 --> 00:15:24.080
 hear me

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.860
 I give you the field

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:25.680
 and I give you the cave

00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:26.180
 that is in it

00:15:26.180 --> 00:15:27.399
 in the sight of my sons

00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:27.840
 of my people

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:28.500
 I give it to you

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:29.220
 bury your dead

00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:30.759
 interesting here

00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.600
 Abraham asks for a cave

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:33.560
 he only wants a cave

00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:34.800
 but then Ephron

00:15:34.800 --> 00:15:35.560
 comes to him

00:15:35.560 --> 00:15:36.500
 out of this kind of

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:37.480
 it seems as though

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.379
 it seems warm

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:39.779
 and kind of generous

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:40.279
 he says hey

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:42.139
 don't just take the cave

00:15:42.139 --> 00:15:43.559
 take the field

00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:44.899
 take the field

00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:46.100
 my sons can see it

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:46.960
 take it

00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.539
 bury your dead

00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:48.439
 and do what it is

00:15:48.439 --> 00:15:49.340
 that you need to do

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:50.080
 on the surface

00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:50.819
 this looks like

00:15:50.819 --> 00:15:51.960
 a good piece of generosity

00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:53.419
 but we actually

00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:54.679
 if you keep going down further

00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:55.960
 you'll see that it actually

00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:56.500
 isn't

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:57.259
 bury your dead

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:58.179
 then Abraham bowed down

00:15:58.179 --> 00:15:59.080
 before the land of the people

00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.279
 again showing respect

00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:00.939
 even though they don't

00:16:00.939 --> 00:16:01.659
 worship his God

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:02.740
 he still respects

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:03.759
 the society

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.319
 and the structures

00:16:04.319 --> 00:16:05.019
 that are in place

00:16:05.019 --> 00:16:07.360
 and he said to Ephron

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.059
 in the hearing of people

00:16:08.059 --> 00:16:08.919
 but if you will hear me

00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:09.899
 I will give the price

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:10.340
 of the field

00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:11.340
 accept it from me

00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:12.639
 that I may bury my dead there

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.919
 Abraham's like

00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:14.639
 thank you so much

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.879
 for offering me

00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:16.299
 this cave

00:16:16.299 --> 00:16:16.819
 and this field

00:16:16.819 --> 00:16:18.779
 but I insist

00:16:18.779 --> 00:16:20.059
 I want to buy it off you

00:16:20.059 --> 00:16:21.439
 what's Abraham thinking

00:16:21.439 --> 00:16:21.860
 he's thinking

00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:22.279
 okay well

00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.100
 you might say yes to me now

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:25.360
 but your kids might not

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:25.980
 say yes to me

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:26.899
 in the next generations

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:28.139
 and then you'll take that field

00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:29.419
 and that cave back off me again

00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:30.439
 unless we make it legal

00:16:30.439 --> 00:16:32.480
 so he's respecting

00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:33.639
 the structures

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:34.199
 that are in place

00:16:34.199 --> 00:16:34.799
 for society

00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:35.679
 honoring them

00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.679
 and also insisting

00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:37.559
 that he does not

00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:38.259
 take shortcuts

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:39.740
 but he does not cut corners in this

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:41.659
 he lives as a man of faith

00:16:41.659 --> 00:16:43.220
 and of integrity

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:44.259
 and he says

00:16:44.259 --> 00:16:45.319
 please let me buy the field

00:16:45.319 --> 00:16:46.179
 and this is where

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:47.059
 Ephron's true colors

00:16:47.059 --> 00:16:47.960
 are exposed

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.939
 and he says this

00:16:48.939 --> 00:16:50.000
 Ephron answers

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.360
 Abraham

00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:51.120
 my lord

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:52.159
 listen to me

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:52.860
 a piece of land

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:54.159
 worth 400 shekels of silver

00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:54.960
 what is that

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:55.899
 between me and you

00:16:55.899 --> 00:16:56.620
 you and me

00:16:56.620 --> 00:17:03.179
 it's okay

00:17:03.179 --> 00:17:04.180
 it's just you and me

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:08.000
 400 shekels of silver

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.580
 this is where you know

00:17:09.580 --> 00:17:10.140
 it's been exposed

00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:11.500
 because 400 shekels of silver

00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:13.960
 is actually about 40 years

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.940
 of wage

00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:17.460
 I put it into AI

00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:18.100
 and it's

00:17:18.100 --> 00:17:18.900
 the equivalent

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:20.080
 would probably be about

00:17:20.080 --> 00:17:21.039
 5 million Hong Kong

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.080
 what people

00:17:23.080 --> 00:17:24.640
 what scholars believe here

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.820
 is that he's charging

00:17:25.820 --> 00:17:27.140
 an exorbitant price

00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:29.140
 for the field

00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:31.100
 that Abraham only wants

00:17:31.100 --> 00:17:31.480
 to the cave

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.819
 can you see

00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:35.420
 he's showing his true colors

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:36.200
 here

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:37.099
 and actually

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:38.160
 if you've been in the Middle East

00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:39.079
 if you've even done

00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:40.000
 any kind of bargaining

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:41.019
 and kind of negotiation

00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:42.400
 this is typical

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.160
 Middle Eastern negotiating

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.400
 and actually

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:46.240
 if Abraham at this point

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:46.779
 said oh thanks

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:47.319
 I'll take the cave

00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:47.839
 I'll take the field

00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:48.539
 thank you very much

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:49.420
 there would have been chaos

00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:50.720
 but instead

00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.299
 there was this

00:17:51.299 --> 00:17:52.120
 almost superficial

00:17:52.120 --> 00:17:53.480
 negotiation

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:55.200
 that gets Abraham

00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:55.720
 to the point

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:56.420
 where he pays

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:57.880
 full market price

00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:58.839
 for a piece

00:17:58.839 --> 00:17:59.960
 of land

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:00.980
 that he didn't actually want

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:01.860
 he just wanted

00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:02.440
 a cave

00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:02.980
 to bury

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:03.900
 his wife

00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:05.099
 whom he had promised

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:06.140
 so much

00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.140
 and she had passed

00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:07.799
 without seeing

00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:08.440
 any of it

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:09.860
 this was a grieving man

00:18:09.860 --> 00:18:10.720
 if you look at just verse

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.680
 2

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.980
 Abraham went in

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:15.700
 to mourn for Sarah

00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:16.579
 and to weep

00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:17.220
 for her

00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:19.599
 just the grief

00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:20.200
 that comes

00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:21.099
 and all he wants

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:22.640
 is the cave

00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.500
 and he's pulled

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:25.360
 into this

00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:27.500
 fascinating thing

00:18:27.500 --> 00:18:28.140
 that happens

00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:28.880
 with Ephraim

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:30.300
 so Ephraim

00:18:30.300 --> 00:18:30.540
 was like

00:18:30.540 --> 00:18:31.040
 fine

00:18:31.040 --> 00:18:32.200
 I will charge you

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:33.460
 the 400 shekels

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:33.860
 of silver

00:18:33.860 --> 00:18:35.259
 and he does that

00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:35.900
 and even then

00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:36.860
 Abraham listened to Ephraim

00:18:36.860 --> 00:18:37.680
 and Abraham weighed out

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.060
 for Ephraim

00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:38.480
 the silver

00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:39.180
 that he had named

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:39.640
 in the hearing

00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:40.100
 of the Hittites

00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:40.980
 400 shekels of silver

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:42.020
 according to the weights

00:18:42.020 --> 00:18:43.120
 current among the merchants

00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:44.400
 so even then

00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.220
 even the weighing

00:18:45.220 --> 00:18:45.759
 of the silver

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:46.540
 was still

00:18:46.540 --> 00:18:48.060
 it was still

00:18:48.060 --> 00:18:48.700
 saying hey

00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:49.640
 we're going to decide

00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:50.720
 and it will fluctuate

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.580
 depending on how much

00:18:51.580 --> 00:18:52.120
 silver there is

00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:53.220
 and back in those days

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:53.860
 there were less silver

00:18:53.860 --> 00:18:54.720
 than actually there is now

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:56.000
 so this was a very

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.400
 very expensive

00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.079
 piece of property

00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:58.960
 that he was buying

00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:00.059
 for his wife

00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:02.940
 so they do it

00:19:02.940 --> 00:19:04.620
 and what can we learn

00:19:04.620 --> 00:19:05.460
 from this whole story

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:06.000
 and that's it

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.660
 and as I was sitting

00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:08.140
 there this weekend

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:09.539
 what can we see

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:10.240
 from this passage

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:10.900
 that we can actually

00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:11.579
 take away from

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:12.120
 and the first thing

00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:12.799
 is that you see

00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:14.360
 a grieving sojourner

00:19:14.360 --> 00:19:15.240
 who was very much

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.160
 willing to grieve

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:20.839
 I can tell you this

00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:23.319
 I always hold

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:24.460
 grief and gratitude

00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:25.920
 hand in hand

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:27.039
 there's not a moment

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:27.640
 that goes by

00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:28.840
 in my life

00:19:28.840 --> 00:19:29.620
 where I don't look

00:19:29.620 --> 00:19:29.980
 and go

00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:30.980
 there are things

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:31.579
 that I'm grieving

00:19:31.579 --> 00:19:32.279
 there are things

00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:33.380
 that I've lost

00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:34.360
 every yes I say

00:19:34.360 --> 00:19:35.299
 yes everything

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:36.000
 I say yes to

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.400
 there are ten no's

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.180
 that I have to say

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:39.079
 no to

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.579
 we all carry grief

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:42.440
 in some way

00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:43.900
 that's almost

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:44.700
 part and parcel

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:46.460
 of this life here

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:48.860
 and yet you see

00:19:48.860 --> 00:19:50.079
 a grieving sojourner

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.519
 living in a certain way

00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:52.400
 where he doesn't get

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:52.980
 the promises

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:54.220
 fulfilled

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:56.799
 and we now sit here

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.660
 and we have the whole bible

00:19:57.660 --> 00:19:58.299
 and we see

00:19:58.299 --> 00:19:59.240
 Hebrews 11

00:19:59.240 --> 00:19:59.880
 that's filled with

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:00.740
 all these great things

00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:01.319
 said about Abraham

00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:02.120
 at this point

00:20:02.120 --> 00:20:02.640
 he doesn't know

00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:03.319
 he just knows

00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:04.880
 that the wife

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:05.660
 that he loved

00:20:05.660 --> 00:20:06.299
 is now dead

00:20:06.299 --> 00:20:07.360
 and she didn't get

00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:08.000
 what was promised

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.319
 and in his

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.779
 last act of honour

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:12.299
 to her

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:13.860
 last act of love

00:20:13.860 --> 00:20:14.299
 to her

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:15.059
 who no doubt

00:20:15.059 --> 00:20:15.339
 I mean

00:20:15.339 --> 00:20:15.839
 those of you

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:16.519
 who have moved house

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:17.319
 a lot of times

00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:19.180
 will know how painful

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:19.799
 it is

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:21.339
 so again

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:22.240
 I'm projecting here

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.779
 but there'll be a moment

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:24.559
 where the wife's going

00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:26.319
 can we just settle down now

00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.919
 I'm so tired

00:20:27.919 --> 00:20:28.440
 of this tent

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.500
 Abraham didn't

00:20:30.500 --> 00:20:31.339
 you say that God

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:31.980
 had promised us

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.839
 this land forever

00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:33.619
 for our descendants

00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:34.960
 why are we still living

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.879
 in this tent

00:20:35.879 --> 00:20:36.419
 and this tent

00:20:36.419 --> 00:20:36.940
 has a leak

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:39.139
 it's just horrible

00:20:39.139 --> 00:20:39.980
 and dark

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.579
 and dingy

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:44.460
 he doesn't do anything

00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:45.259
 until she passes

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:46.440
 and he insists

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:47.440
 on paying full price

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:48.220
 for this land

00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:49.039
 he is a grieving

00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:50.039
 sojourner

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:51.200
 but he is pointing

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.019
 to eternity

00:20:53.019 --> 00:20:54.519
 he's pointing himself

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.839
 to eternity

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.359
 and I'll show you why

00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:58.879
 the reason why

00:20:58.879 --> 00:21:00.099
 he insists on buying

00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:01.220
 this land

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:03.160
 is because he doesn't

00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:03.980
 just believe

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:04.680
 that God's promise

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.559
 was about giving them

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.759
 the land in their lifetime

00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:07.700
 remember

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.819
 last chapter

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.440
 last week

00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:10.359
 what does Abraham

00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:10.920
 believe in?

00:21:11.379 --> 00:21:12.039
 he believes

00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:13.119
 that there's a chance

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:14.220
 actually there's a big chance

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:15.299
 that God can raise

00:21:15.299 --> 00:21:16.220
 Isaac from the dead

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:16.900
 that's why he's willing

00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:17.420
 to offer

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:19.059
 he's like

00:21:19.059 --> 00:21:19.559
 I don't know

00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:20.220
 how it's going to happen

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:22.079
 even if I have to

00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:23.039
 sacrifice and kill Isaac

00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:24.240
 some way

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:25.420
 Hebrews 11 says this

00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:26.559
 Abraham thought

00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:27.380
 don't worry

00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:28.640
 even if I offer Isaac up

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:29.279
 God will raise him

00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:29.900
 from the dead somehow

00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:31.059
 so Abraham believes

00:21:31.059 --> 00:21:31.539
 in the resurrection

00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:32.120
 from the dead

00:21:32.120 --> 00:21:33.000
 so the reason why

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.039
 he buys this land

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.819
 for his wife

00:21:34.819 --> 00:21:35.839
 who never got to see

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:36.420
 the land is

00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:37.500
 hey I know I didn't

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:38.839
 get you this land

00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:39.680
 in your lifetime

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.019
 but I assure you this

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.940
 when you resurrect

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:42.860
 you will resurrect

00:21:42.860 --> 00:21:43.600
 in the place

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:44.439
 that God promised you

00:21:44.439 --> 00:21:45.939
 that's why he bought

00:21:45.939 --> 00:21:46.359
 this land

00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:47.819
 because he's saying

00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:49.039
 this will be a marker

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:50.279
 this will be a deposit

00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:51.599
 this will be a down payment

00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:52.459
 for our future

00:21:52.459 --> 00:21:53.419
 because the promise

00:21:53.419 --> 00:21:54.399
 that we receive from God

00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:55.639
 isn't in this lifetime

00:21:55.639 --> 00:21:56.980
 it's for the next one

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:58.859
 and the moment

00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:59.879
 Sarah you wake up

00:21:59.879 --> 00:22:00.719
 the moment you resurrect

00:22:00.719 --> 00:22:01.819
 you will be resurrecting

00:22:01.819 --> 00:22:02.719
 in the lands

00:22:02.719 --> 00:22:03.959
 that God promised you

00:22:03.959 --> 00:22:04.719
 because of that

00:22:04.719 --> 00:22:05.859
 I am willing to pay

00:22:05.859 --> 00:22:07.299
 above market price

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:08.099
 for this land

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:09.579
 so that when you wake up

00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:10.039
 when

00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:10.559
 not if

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.639
 when you wake up

00:22:11.639 --> 00:22:12.480
 when you are resurrected

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:13.880
 you will be in exactly

00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:14.579
 the place

00:22:14.579 --> 00:22:16.400
 that God promised you

00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:17.680
 he's not going to take

00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:18.339
 any shortcuts

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:19.160
 because there was another way

00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:19.880
 that he could have done this

00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:20.640
 which was not bury her

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.400
 just cremate her

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.240
 just get it out of the way

00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:24.559
 why does he need to engage

00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.180
 with the locals

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:27.220
 get this favor from them

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:28.319
 or pay so much for them

00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:29.079
 he didn't have to do

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.500
 any of that

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:29.740
 he never

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:30.960
 he'd held restraint

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.819
 all this time

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:32.240
 anyway

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.980
 why buy her the land now

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:35.140
 she's not nagging anymore

00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:37.880
 and yet in his eyes

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:39.440
 there's something

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:40.299
 that needs to be done here

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:42.159
 that is beyond their life

00:22:42.159 --> 00:22:43.359
 beyond their lifetime

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.240
 so he's going to insist

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:45.019
 on buying this land

00:22:45.019 --> 00:22:46.440
 and because it was done

00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:47.919
 in the presence

00:22:47.919 --> 00:22:49.099
 of all these other leaders

00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:49.700
 around the city

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:50.339
 around the gate

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:51.700
 this transaction

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:52.539
 would be official

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:54.039
 and it would pass down

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:54.680
 the generations

00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:55.859
 guess who ends up

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:56.599
 getting buried there

00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:57.159
 in the future

00:22:57.159 --> 00:22:58.339
 not just Sarah

00:22:58.339 --> 00:22:59.720
 but Abraham himself

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.279
 and then Isaac

00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:02.159
 and it continues

00:23:02.159 --> 00:23:02.899
 and continues

00:23:02.899 --> 00:23:04.539
 just another moment

00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:05.779
 of sentimental value here

00:23:05.779 --> 00:23:07.039
 this place in Hebron

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.079
 is basically where

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:09.279
 after they split

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:10.759
 with the nephew Lot

00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:12.000
 so Lot goes this way

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:12.559
 and they go this way

00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:13.159
 and they set up

00:23:13.159 --> 00:23:13.939
 in Hebron

00:23:13.939 --> 00:23:15.179
 it would have been

00:23:15.179 --> 00:23:15.759
 where they settled

00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:16.899
 those many years ago

00:23:16.899 --> 00:23:18.599
 and so he's like

00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:18.779
 no

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:20.480
 I'm putting a deposit

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:20.919
 on this

00:23:20.919 --> 00:23:21.559
 a down payment

00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:21.980
 for this

00:23:21.980 --> 00:23:23.319
 this is for our future

00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:24.960
 he sees something

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:26.519
 beyond death

00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:27.859
 it makes me think

00:23:27.859 --> 00:23:29.240
 how do we approach

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:30.399
 our earthly things now

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:32.379
 do we approach them

00:23:32.379 --> 00:23:33.919
 with an eternal mindset

00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.060
 I once heard a quote

00:23:38.060 --> 00:23:38.580
 that I've shared

00:23:38.580 --> 00:23:39.380
 many many times before

00:23:39.380 --> 00:23:39.820
 that there are

00:23:39.820 --> 00:23:41.039
 two most important days

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.700
 in your life

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:42.400
 today

00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:43.800
 and that day

00:23:43.800 --> 00:23:45.140
 today

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:45.779
 the day that you're

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:46.580
 living in right now

00:23:46.580 --> 00:23:47.320
 and that day

00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:48.460
 when you meet your creator

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:50.100
 those are the only

00:23:50.100 --> 00:23:51.019
 two important days

00:23:51.019 --> 00:23:51.460
 in your life

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:52.480
 and our prayer

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.519
 is that that day

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:54.620
 impacts the way

00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:55.539
 you live today

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:58.740
 when was the last time

00:23:58.740 --> 00:23:59.640
 you made an investment

00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:01.140
 that didn't really make sense

00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:01.940
 in an earthly sense

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:03.440
 but makes absolute sense

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:04.360
 in an eternal sense

00:24:04.360 --> 00:24:06.640
 when was the last time

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:07.559
 you invested your time

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:08.039
 your resources

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:08.420
 your money

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:08.920
 your efforts

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:09.279
 your love

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:10.160
 into something

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:10.960
 or someone

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:12.160
 or some project

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:14.880
 with eternity

00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:15.500
 in mind

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:17.299
 if we're honest

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:17.759
 with ourselves

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:18.740
 that doesn't really happen

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:19.680
 because we make investments

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.860
 for this life

00:24:20.860 --> 00:24:23.080
 we choose to put time

00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:23.720
 into studying

00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:24.480
 so we can invest

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:25.539
 into getting the grades

00:24:25.539 --> 00:24:25.880
 that we need

00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:26.559
 to get to the university

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:26.960
 that we need

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.480
 to get to the job

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:27.880
 that we need

00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:28.680
 so we can get the lifestyle

00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:29.160
 that we need

00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.600
 all in this life

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:32.839
 but when was the last time

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.039
 we said

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:33.579
 I'm going to make

00:24:33.579 --> 00:24:34.099
 an investment

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:35.199
 that I'm not going to see

00:24:35.199 --> 00:24:35.719
 that the world

00:24:35.719 --> 00:24:36.819
 isn't really going to understand

00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:38.159
 but it is so much bigger

00:24:38.159 --> 00:24:39.279
 than what I experience

00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:39.959
 in this life

00:24:39.959 --> 00:24:40.959
 and there's going to be

00:24:40.959 --> 00:24:41.319
 a moment

00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:42.199
 where I'm going to experience

00:24:42.199 --> 00:24:42.939
 it in eternity

00:24:42.939 --> 00:24:43.699
 where my wife

00:24:43.699 --> 00:24:44.399
 is going to wake up

00:24:44.399 --> 00:24:44.959
 and she's going to be

00:24:44.959 --> 00:24:45.619
 in paradise

00:24:45.619 --> 00:24:49.039
 do we here

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.599
 live

00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:50.740
 with eternity

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:51.679
 in mind

00:24:51.679 --> 00:24:53.759
 it's impossible

00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:54.399
 to go through

00:24:54.399 --> 00:24:54.980
 the book of

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:56.019
 the story of Abraham

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:56.740
 without looking

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:57.480
 at Hebrews 11

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:58.199
 so I want to turn

00:24:58.199 --> 00:24:59.259
 to us there

00:24:59.259 --> 00:25:00.480
 for the next bit

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:00.980
 and then I'm actually

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.420
 going to invite

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:01.900
 a friend up

00:25:01.900 --> 00:25:03.700
 so if you can

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:04.119
 stay awake

00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:04.539
 until then

00:25:04.539 --> 00:25:05.119
 I promise you

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:05.539
 it will get more

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:06.440
 interesting after that

00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:09.140
 Hebrews chapter 11

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:11.119
 growing up always

00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:11.900
 I've used this

00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:12.700
 I've felt this

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:13.440
 was just a

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:15.400
 just a hall of fame

00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:17.559
 of people

00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:18.440
 who just put

00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:19.019
 their trust

00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:19.519
 in the Lord

00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:20.279
 who never put

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:20.859
 a foot wrong

00:25:20.859 --> 00:25:21.519
 who never made

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:22.000
 a mistake

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:22.920
 who lived life

00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:24.099
 completely

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:25.680
 trusting in their God

00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.120
 but what I

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:28.519
 have more recently

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:29.180
 seen is that

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:30.160
 is not the case

00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:30.740
 you look

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.759
 and Abraham

00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:32.200
 by the way

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:32.519
 is the one

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.000
 who's had

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:34.220
 the most written

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:34.779
 about him

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:35.940
 11 verse 8

00:25:35.940 --> 00:25:37.039
 by faith Abraham

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:37.779
 obeyed when he

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:38.460
 was called to go

00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:39.160
 out to a place

00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:40.160
 that he was to

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:40.860
 receive as an

00:25:40.860 --> 00:25:41.240
 inheritance

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.380
 by faith he

00:25:42.380 --> 00:25:42.960
 obeyed

00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:44.019
 so that's the thing

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.900
 he obeys and

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:45.420
 goes out

00:25:45.420 --> 00:25:46.180
 not knowing

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:46.600
 what he's going

00:25:46.600 --> 00:25:46.900
 to get

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:47.320
 not knowing

00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:47.660
 where he's

00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:48.160
 going to go

00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:49.200
 and he went

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:49.759
 out not knowing

00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:50.060
 where he was

00:25:50.060 --> 00:25:50.340
 going to go

00:25:50.340 --> 00:25:50.820
 verse 8

00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:51.640
 by faith he

00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:52.180
 went to live

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:52.660
 in the land

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:53.060
 of promise

00:25:53.060 --> 00:25:53.660
 the land that

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:54.100
 was promised

00:25:54.100 --> 00:25:54.340
 to him

00:25:54.339 --> 00:25:54.819
 he lived

00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:55.579
 there in

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:55.859
 faith

00:25:55.859 --> 00:25:56.759
 living in

00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:57.220
 tents with

00:25:57.220 --> 00:25:57.639
 Isaac and

00:25:57.639 --> 00:25:57.899
 Jacob

00:25:57.899 --> 00:25:59.439
 why

00:25:59.439 --> 00:26:00.319
 because he

00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:00.619
 was looking

00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:00.959
 forward

00:26:00.959 --> 00:26:01.639
 verse 11

00:26:01.639 --> 00:26:02.379
 sorry verse 10

00:26:02.379 --> 00:26:02.679
 for he was

00:26:02.679 --> 00:26:03.059
 looking forward

00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:03.539
 to the city

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:03.839
 that has

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.339
 foundations

00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:05.000
 whose designer

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:05.740
 and builder

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:06.379
 is God

00:26:06.379 --> 00:26:09.500
 just step

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:09.779
 with me

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:10.419
 into the life

00:26:10.419 --> 00:26:10.959
 of Abraham

00:26:10.959 --> 00:26:11.279
 again

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:11.819
 he's promised

00:26:11.819 --> 00:26:12.419
 this big land

00:26:12.419 --> 00:26:13.480
 he goes

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:14.359
 leaves everything

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:14.679
 he's ever

00:26:14.679 --> 00:26:14.859
 known

00:26:14.859 --> 00:26:15.139
 and goes

00:26:15.139 --> 00:26:15.439
 and lives

00:26:15.439 --> 00:26:15.720
 there

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:16.579
 and he lives

00:26:16.579 --> 00:26:17.059
 in tents

00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:17.980
 never settles

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:18.359
 down

00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:19.659
 and somewhere

00:26:19.659 --> 00:26:20.199
 along the way

00:26:20.199 --> 00:26:20.799
 things turn

00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:21.480
 and he realizes

00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:21.899
 that he's not

00:26:21.899 --> 00:26:22.459
 actually living

00:26:22.459 --> 00:26:22.859
 for Canaan

00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:23.199
 anymore

00:26:23.199 --> 00:26:23.959
 he's living

00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:25.120
 for a city

00:26:25.120 --> 00:26:26.100
 that has

00:26:26.100 --> 00:26:26.519
 foundations

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.079
 whose designer

00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:27.500
 and builder

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:28.019
 is God

00:26:28.019 --> 00:26:30.539
 he's going

00:26:30.539 --> 00:26:31.420
 further away

00:26:31.420 --> 00:26:32.039
 I think that's

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.519
 a bit of the

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.140
 life that we

00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:33.799
 have as followers

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.240
 of Christ

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:35.400
 is in the

00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:36.000
 early stages

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:36.759
 when we choose

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:37.299
 to follow Jesus

00:26:37.299 --> 00:26:37.620
 it's because

00:26:37.620 --> 00:26:37.960
 he's going to

00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:38.480
 help us find

00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:38.779
 purpose

00:26:38.779 --> 00:26:39.140
 he's going to

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:39.380
 help us

00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:39.840
 find meaning

00:26:39.840 --> 00:26:40.120
 he's going

00:26:40.120 --> 00:26:40.460
 to help us

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:40.680
 find

00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:41.259
 and some

00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:41.500
 of us

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:41.660
 think

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:41.880
 he's going

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:42.079
 to help

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:42.400
 us find

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:43.200
 bring health

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.640
 and wealth

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.519
 and we're

00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:44.720
 just going

00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:45.279
 to be much

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:45.680
 more happy

00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:46.180
 and that's

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:46.559
 often how

00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.039
 we start

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:47.680
 and I'm not

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.039
 saying that's

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:48.579
 all terribly

00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:48.880
 wrong

00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:49.500
 but I'm

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:50.259
 saying that

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:50.700
 would be a

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:51.200
 real terrible

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:51.519
 shame

00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:51.880
 if that's

00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:52.160
 where we

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:52.420
 stayed

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:53.620
 and so

00:26:53.620 --> 00:26:53.900
 then what

00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:54.440
 happens is

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:55.080
 as we

00:26:55.080 --> 00:26:55.759
 start following

00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:56.279
 Jesus

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:57.440
 we end up

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:57.860
 at the place

00:26:57.860 --> 00:26:58.259
 where actually

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:59.120
 Jesus I'm

00:26:59.120 --> 00:27:00.160
 kind of losing

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.799
 interest in the

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:01.220
 gifts that you're

00:27:01.220 --> 00:27:01.680
 going to give me

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:02.400
 and I'm more

00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:03.140
 interested in you

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:05.059
 because those

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:05.539
 gifts have got

00:27:05.539 --> 00:27:05.940
 to come from

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:06.259
 somewhere

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:08.360
 and the kingdom

00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:09.100
 of God is the

00:27:09.100 --> 00:27:09.559
 gift that keeps

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:09.940
 on giving

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:11.120
 so I'd rather

00:27:11.120 --> 00:27:12.160
 come towards you

00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:12.880
 and that's where

00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:13.420
 you end up

00:27:13.420 --> 00:27:14.559
 King David

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:15.180
 Psalm 27

00:27:15.180 --> 00:27:15.759
 says the one

00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:16.240
 thing I ask

00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:16.660
 now the one

00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:17.140
 thing I seek

00:27:17.140 --> 00:27:17.720
 is to dwell

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:18.100
 in the house

00:27:18.100 --> 00:27:18.500
 of the Lord

00:27:18.500 --> 00:27:19.799
 to gaze upon

00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:20.220
 his beauty

00:27:20.220 --> 00:27:20.860
 to inquire

00:27:20.860 --> 00:27:21.360
 in his temple

00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:22.059
 all I care

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.600
 about is

00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:23.160
 you now

00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:25.740
 the life

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.220
 of a believer

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:26.940
 those seasons

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.559
 those cycles

00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:28.019
 that we go

00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:28.279
 through

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:28.880
 the whole

00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:29.400
 objective

00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:29.880
 is to get

00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:30.380
 to a place

00:27:30.380 --> 00:27:30.839
 where Jesus

00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:31.640
 I want you

00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:32.120
 more than

00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:32.519
 the things

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:32.779
 that you

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:33.240
 can give

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:33.480
 me

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.180
 and recognizing

00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:36.799
 especially

00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:37.680
 that I may

00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:38.059
 not even

00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:38.460
 get it

00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:39.180
 Hebrews 11

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:40.140
 verse 13

00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:40.880
 these all

00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:41.500
 died in

00:27:41.500 --> 00:27:41.779
 faith

00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:42.200
 not having

00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:42.700
 received

00:27:42.700 --> 00:27:43.380
 the things

00:27:43.380 --> 00:27:44.180
 promised

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:45.460
 but having

00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:45.940
 seen them

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.319
 and greeted

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:46.720
 them from

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.059
 afar

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.480
 and having

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:47.880
 acknowledged

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:48.180
 that they

00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:48.759
 were strangers

00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:49.259
 and exiles

00:27:49.259 --> 00:27:50.019
 on the earth

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:51.779
 Abraham

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:52.299
 is there

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:53.740
 he speaks

00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:54.240
 to the Hittites

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:54.460
 and says

00:27:54.460 --> 00:27:54.839
 I am a

00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:55.279
 sojourner

00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:55.779
 a foreigner

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:56.359
 I am a

00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:56.660
 stranger

00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:57.079
 I am an

00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:57.420
 exile

00:27:57.420 --> 00:27:58.619
 this doesn't

00:27:58.619 --> 00:27:59.200
 really belong

00:27:59.200 --> 00:27:59.940
 to me anymore

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:01.019
 if we could

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:01.539
 all just

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:02.019
 get there

00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:03.759
 to a place

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:04.039
 where we

00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:05.000
 look at the

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:05.519
 comforts and

00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.059
 luxuries and

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:06.500
 excitement

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:07.539
 and the gifts

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:08.059
 of a city

00:28:08.059 --> 00:28:08.700
 like Hong Kong

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:09.519
 and go

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:10.639
 and yet I

00:28:10.639 --> 00:28:11.079
 desire

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.279
 a better

00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:12.700
 country

00:28:12.700 --> 00:28:13.619
 I desire

00:28:13.619 --> 00:28:14.039
 a city

00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:14.660
 whose builder

00:28:14.660 --> 00:28:15.319
 and foundation

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:15.980
 and designer

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:16.839
 is God

00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:17.279
 himself

00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.119
 this isn't

00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:19.519
 enough

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.960
 with that

00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:22.220
 said

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:22.559
 what we're

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:22.980
 praying for

00:28:22.980 --> 00:28:23.220
 is that

00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:23.420
 actually

00:28:23.420 --> 00:28:23.819
 heaven would

00:28:23.819 --> 00:28:24.160
 come onto

00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:24.399
 earth

00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:25.000
 every time

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:25.299
 I walk

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:25.799
 into Hong Kong

00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:26.059
 Park

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:26.279
 I'm like

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:26.559
 what a

00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:27.339
 beautiful park

00:28:27.339 --> 00:28:28.059
 surrounded by

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:28.700
 these incredible

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:29.180
 buildings

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:31.099
 reminds me a little

00:28:31.099 --> 00:28:31.639
 bit of just the

00:28:31.639 --> 00:28:32.259
 book of Revelation

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:32.740
 where there's

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:33.099
 going to be

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:33.460
 it's going to

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:34.000
 be a garden

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.440
 city

00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:36.500
 but the whole

00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:36.859
 point is

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:37.660
 and again

00:28:37.660 --> 00:28:38.099
 remember

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:38.839
 my wife loves

00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:39.099
 trees

00:28:39.099 --> 00:28:39.440
 that's why

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:39.759
 we have a

00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:39.960
 tree

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.759
 in our

00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.000
 church

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:41.879
 but if you

00:28:41.879 --> 00:28:42.160
 just look

00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:42.460
 even look

00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:42.779
 around

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:43.180
 anywhere

00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:43.660
 that's nice

00:28:43.660 --> 00:28:43.920
 and hip

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:44.200
 and cool

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:44.579
 these days

00:28:44.579 --> 00:28:44.920
 whether it's

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:45.240
 Hong Kong

00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:45.700
 or if you

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:46.200
 like Shenzhen

00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:46.460
 then you

00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:46.700
 go to

00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:46.960
 Shenzhen

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:47.220
 and you

00:28:47.220 --> 00:28:47.480
 see all

00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:47.559
 these

00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:48.160
 what do

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:48.279
 you

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:48.880
 Trevor's

00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:48.980
 like

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:49.180
 yes

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.480
 amen

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:51.099
 all these

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:51.460
 malls

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:51.700
 all these

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:52.059
 places

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:53.420
 that are

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:53.599
 cool

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:53.880
 what do

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:54.339
 they have

00:28:54.339 --> 00:28:55.220
 trees

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:57.779
 there's

00:28:57.779 --> 00:28:58.160
 something in

00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:58.620
 our hearts

00:28:58.620 --> 00:28:58.859
 that are

00:28:58.859 --> 00:28:59.359
 just crying

00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:00.160
 just yearning

00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:00.599
 for this

00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:01.400
 garden city

00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:03.599
 actually

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:04.279
 the good

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:05.000
 things in

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.440
 the city

00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:05.960
 in reality

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:06.539
 actually point

00:29:06.539 --> 00:29:07.380
 us towards

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:08.359
 those things

00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:09.700
 Abraham gets

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:10.099
 to the point

00:29:10.099 --> 00:29:10.380
 where he

00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:10.859
 acknowledges

00:29:10.859 --> 00:29:11.279
 and sees

00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:11.579
 them from

00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:11.960
 afar

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:12.420
 but he

00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:12.839
 recognizes

00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:13.220
 he's a

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.539
 stranger

00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:14.120
 and an

00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:14.400
 exile

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.200
 and he's

00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:16.740
 now looking

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.580
 for something

00:29:17.580 --> 00:29:18.560
 else

00:29:18.560 --> 00:29:21.820
 I wonder

00:29:21.820 --> 00:29:22.240
 whether we

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:22.759
 can live

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.019
 with that

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.580
 kind of

00:29:23.580 --> 00:29:23.940
 heart

00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:26.040
 it's funny

00:29:26.040 --> 00:29:26.640
 he buys

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:26.980
 his land

00:29:26.980 --> 00:29:27.420
 they end

00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:27.759
 up staying

00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:27.940
 there

00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:28.120
 and this

00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:28.280
 is where

00:29:28.280 --> 00:29:28.700
 my conclusion

00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:29.060
 is before

00:29:29.060 --> 00:29:29.340
 I bring

00:29:29.340 --> 00:29:29.920
 other people

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:30.140
 up

00:29:30.140 --> 00:29:31.259
 you fast

00:29:31.259 --> 00:29:31.580
 forward to

00:29:31.580 --> 00:29:31.920
 the end

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:32.400
 of Genesis

00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:33.240
 Joseph

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:33.860
 remember they

00:29:33.860 --> 00:29:34.400
 end up in

00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:34.940
 Egypt right

00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:35.560
 and Joseph

00:29:35.560 --> 00:29:36.060
 is very

00:29:36.060 --> 00:29:36.580
 very powerful

00:29:36.580 --> 00:29:37.019
 he's not

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:37.580
 a sojourner

00:29:37.580 --> 00:29:37.940
 he's not

00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:38.340
 a stranger

00:29:38.340 --> 00:29:39.280
 he's not

00:29:39.280 --> 00:29:39.720
 an exile

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:40.380
 he's the

00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:40.780
 second most

00:29:40.780 --> 00:29:41.259
 powerful man

00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:41.620
 in Egypt

00:29:41.620 --> 00:29:42.180
 and when

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.560
 he dies

00:29:42.560 --> 00:29:42.880
 what does

00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:43.300
 he make

00:29:43.300 --> 00:29:44.160
 them promise

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:45.400
 take my

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:45.800
 bones

00:29:45.800 --> 00:29:46.860
 I do not

00:29:46.860 --> 00:29:47.279
 want to be

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:47.759
 in Egypt

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.580
 because our

00:29:48.580 --> 00:29:48.960
 people

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.740
 our family

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.640
 were promised

00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:51.060
 a land

00:29:51.060 --> 00:29:51.500
 in Canaan

00:29:51.500 --> 00:29:51.900
 so when

00:29:51.900 --> 00:29:52.340
 you leave

00:29:52.340 --> 00:29:52.720
 and God

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:53.200
 will come

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:53.680
 and deliver

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.140
 you from

00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:54.440
 Egypt

00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:55.040
 and when

00:29:55.040 --> 00:29:55.600
 you leave

00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:55.900
 and come

00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:56.640
 take my

00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:56.920
 bones

00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:57.320
 with you

00:29:57.320 --> 00:29:57.980
 and wander

00:29:57.980 --> 00:29:58.519
 in the desert

00:29:58.519 --> 00:29:59.220
 for 40 years

00:29:59.220 --> 00:29:59.680
 he didn't know

00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:00.080
 that but

00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:01.420
 take them

00:30:01.420 --> 00:30:01.740
 with you

00:30:01.740 --> 00:30:02.080
 wherever you

00:30:02.080 --> 00:30:02.200
 go

00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:02.519
 because I

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:03.000
 want my

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:03.300
 bones

00:30:03.300 --> 00:30:03.860
 to be buried

00:30:03.860 --> 00:30:04.200
 with my

00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:04.600
 ancestors

00:30:04.600 --> 00:30:05.180
 with my

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:05.600
 great great

00:30:05.600 --> 00:30:06.259
 great grandmother

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:06.779
 my great

00:30:06.779 --> 00:30:07.160
 great great

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:07.600
 grandfather

00:30:07.600 --> 00:30:08.120
 why

00:30:08.120 --> 00:30:08.720
 because God

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.340
 promised us

00:30:09.340 --> 00:30:09.700
 something

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:10.400
 that we

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:11.279
 will realize

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:11.980
 maybe not

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:12.299
 in this

00:30:12.299 --> 00:30:12.599
 lifetime

00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:13.259
 but in

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:13.639
 eternity

00:30:13.639 --> 00:30:14.139
 we will

00:30:14.139 --> 00:30:14.579
 so take

00:30:14.579 --> 00:30:15.059
 my bones

00:30:15.059 --> 00:30:15.279
 home

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:15.579
 please

00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:17.079
 is what

00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:17.339
 Joseph

00:30:17.339 --> 00:30:17.740
 is saying

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:19.700
 he lived

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:19.980
 with that

00:30:19.980 --> 00:30:20.680
 eternal mindset

00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:21.799
 just like

00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:22.319
 Abraham

00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:24.099
 Abraham of course

00:30:24.099 --> 00:30:24.460
 had this

00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:25.039
 interaction with

00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:25.399
 Ephron

00:30:25.399 --> 00:30:25.899
 and Ephron

00:30:25.899 --> 00:30:26.359
 thinks he gets

00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:26.920
 a great deal

00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:27.720
 five million

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.180
 Hong Kong

00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:28.759
 for a field

00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:29.139
 and a cave

00:30:29.139 --> 00:30:29.500
 that he doesn't

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:29.940
 really use

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.259
 anymore

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:32.839
 and yet what

00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:33.119
 he doesn't

00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:33.700
 realize is that

00:30:33.700 --> 00:30:34.279
 Abraham actually

00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:34.859
 gets the better

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.740
 side of the deal

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:38.000
 that Abraham

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:39.500
 paid 400

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:40.019
 shekels of

00:30:40.019 --> 00:30:40.880
 silver for

00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:41.460
 his family

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:42.640
 to have the

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.200
 whole land of

00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:43.440
 Canaan

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:44.120
 the whole of

00:30:44.120 --> 00:30:44.519
 the promised

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:44.880
 land

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.900
 he just won't

00:30:45.900 --> 00:30:46.339
 see it

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:46.880
 just yet

00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:48.180
 Abraham himself

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:48.900
 doesn't see it

00:30:48.900 --> 00:30:49.519
 Sarah definitely

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:50.319
 didn't see it

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:51.900
 and yet Abraham

00:30:51.900 --> 00:30:52.500
 lived with that

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:52.920
 kind of faith

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:53.559
 it reminds me

00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:54.019
 of Judas

00:30:54.019 --> 00:30:56.079
 not for 400

00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:56.500
 shekels

00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:57.299
 he just had a

00:30:57.299 --> 00:30:58.460
 bag of 30

00:30:58.460 --> 00:30:58.819
 coins

00:30:58.819 --> 00:31:00.259
 and he exchanges

00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:00.559
 it

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.720
 how often do

00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:04.539
 we deal

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:05.240
 in the earthly

00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:06.980
 thinking we

00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:07.480
 just want the

00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:07.980
 best deals

00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:08.400
 that we can

00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:08.680
 here

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:10.259
 when God's

00:31:10.259 --> 00:31:10.680
 calling us

00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:11.000
 to live

00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:11.579
 with eternity

00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:12.460
 in mind

00:31:12.460 --> 00:31:13.819
 to look at

00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:15.000
 something far

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.620
 greater

00:31:15.620 --> 00:31:17.039
 the truth is

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:17.579
 everything that

00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:18.000
 we have here

00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:18.640
 will fade away

00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:19.960
 it will go

00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:20.680
 it will rot

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:23.420
 it's interesting

00:31:23.420 --> 00:31:23.880
 when Jesus

00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:24.359
 comes

00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:26.539
 in John 8

00:31:26.539 --> 00:31:27.759
 he was talking

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.599
 to the people

00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:28.839
 who are

00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:29.539
 who are you

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:31.259
 are you greater

00:31:31.259 --> 00:31:31.700
 than Abraham

00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:32.259
 and then he

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:33.039
 really annoys them

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:34.079
 by saying some

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:34.339
 stuff

00:31:34.339 --> 00:31:35.639
 but John

00:31:35.639 --> 00:31:36.119
 chapter 8

00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:36.679
 verse 56

00:31:36.679 --> 00:31:37.179
 says this

00:31:37.179 --> 00:31:37.759
 your father

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.179
 Abraham

00:31:38.179 --> 00:31:38.659
 rejoiced

00:31:38.659 --> 00:31:38.919
 that he

00:31:38.919 --> 00:31:39.259
 would see

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.699
 my day

00:31:39.699 --> 00:31:40.419
 he saw

00:31:40.419 --> 00:31:40.599
 it

00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:40.959
 and was

00:31:40.959 --> 00:31:41.319
 glad

00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.659
 Jesus

00:31:43.659 --> 00:31:44.159
 quotes

00:31:44.159 --> 00:31:44.379
 their

00:31:44.379 --> 00:31:45.339
 founding father

00:31:45.339 --> 00:31:45.740
 of the faith

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.039
 and says

00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:47.119
 your founding father

00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:48.139
 saw this day

00:31:48.139 --> 00:31:48.779
 he saw me

00:31:48.779 --> 00:31:49.220
 and he was

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:49.519
 glad

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:50.159
 which is why

00:31:50.159 --> 00:31:50.619
 he was willing

00:31:50.619 --> 00:31:51.079
 to make a

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:51.579
 down payment

00:31:51.579 --> 00:31:52.240
 a deposit

00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.939
 into a future

00:31:52.939 --> 00:31:53.319
 that he

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:53.779
 wouldn't even

00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:54.079
 see

00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:54.740
 because he

00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:55.659
 saw the city

00:31:55.659 --> 00:31:56.379
 he saw

00:31:56.379 --> 00:31:56.779
 the better

00:31:56.779 --> 00:31:57.199
 country

00:31:57.199 --> 00:31:58.000
 and he

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.500
 was glad

00:31:58.500 --> 00:32:01.480
 would we

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:02.339
 all be

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:03.059
 like Abraham

00:32:03.059 --> 00:32:05.079
 and recognize

00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:05.660
 and acknowledge

00:32:05.660 --> 00:32:06.400
 that everything

00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:06.960
 that we have

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.700
 promised to us

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:08.640
 from this book

00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:09.180
 from God

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:09.480
 himself

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:10.480
 we may not

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:11.200
 even realize

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:11.859
 before death

00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:15.279
 and that's

00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:15.700
 how we can

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:16.019
 grieve

00:32:16.019 --> 00:32:18.279
 that's why

00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:19.000
 1 Thessalonians

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.480
 4 says

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:20.619
 we grieve

00:32:20.619 --> 00:32:21.640
 not as those

00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:22.240
 who have no

00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:22.579
 hope

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:23.460
 because we

00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:23.779
 have an

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:24.319
 eternal

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:25.359
 inheritance

00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:26.259
 that awaits

00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:26.799
 us that we

00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:27.779
 won't see

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:28.579
 here

00:32:28.579 --> 00:32:29.819
 you can

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:30.980
 count on it

00:32:30.980 --> 00:32:33.899
 but yet

00:32:33.899 --> 00:32:36.480
 the moment

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:37.139
 Jesus comes

00:32:37.139 --> 00:32:39.539
 the moment

00:32:39.539 --> 00:32:40.000
 Jesus

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.700
 the one

00:32:40.700 --> 00:32:40.899
 who's

00:32:40.899 --> 00:32:41.279
 resurrected

00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:42.960
 comes

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:43.879
 back for us

00:32:43.879 --> 00:32:44.480
 the moment

00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:45.059
 we're all

00:32:45.059 --> 00:32:46.240
 woken up

00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:47.159
 raised from

00:32:47.159 --> 00:32:47.419
 the dead

00:32:47.419 --> 00:32:47.919
 we will be

00:32:47.919 --> 00:32:48.440
 in the land

00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:48.859
 of promise

00:32:48.859 --> 00:32:49.200
 and where

00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:49.480
 he will

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:49.839
 rule

00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:50.940
 with grace

00:32:50.940 --> 00:32:51.460
 and truth

00:32:51.460 --> 00:32:51.980
 and peace

00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:52.539
 and love

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:55.799
 in a kingdom

00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:56.139
 that will

00:32:56.139 --> 00:32:56.659
 never end

00:32:56.660 --> 00:32:58.400
 that is

00:32:58.400 --> 00:32:58.820
 the hope

00:32:58.820 --> 00:32:59.340
 that we

00:32:59.340 --> 00:32:59.600
 have

00:32:59.600 --> 00:33:00.300
 that is

00:33:00.300 --> 00:33:00.680
 what we

00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:01.500
 are going

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:02.240
 for

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:03.200
 Jesus

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:03.600
 the son

00:33:03.600 --> 00:33:03.940
 of God

00:33:03.940 --> 00:33:04.400
 himself

00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:05.740
 who was

00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:06.160
 outcast

00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:06.880
 who became

00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:07.519
 a sojourner

00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:08.340
 and a foreigner

00:33:08.340 --> 00:33:09.160
 and a stranger

00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:10.380
 and an exile

00:33:10.380 --> 00:33:12.840
 ends up

00:33:12.840 --> 00:33:13.320
 sacrificing

00:33:13.320 --> 00:33:13.779
 himself

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:15.120
 his tomb

00:33:15.120 --> 00:33:16.120
 becomes a

00:33:16.120 --> 00:33:16.440
 deposit

00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.080
 for our

00:33:18.080 --> 00:33:18.340
 life

00:33:18.340 --> 00:33:20.320
 and now

00:33:20.320 --> 00:33:20.800
 he lives

00:33:20.800 --> 00:33:21.640
 and his

00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:22.080
 spirit lives

00:33:22.080 --> 00:33:22.700
 inside us

00:33:22.700 --> 00:33:23.320
 and that

00:33:23.320 --> 00:33:23.700
 is

00:33:23.700 --> 00:33:24.740
 the deposit

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:25.080
 and the

00:33:25.080 --> 00:33:25.580
 guarantor

00:33:25.580 --> 00:33:25.980
 of our

00:33:25.980 --> 00:33:26.220
 faith

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:27.940
 do we

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:28.360
 recognize

00:33:28.360 --> 00:33:28.620
 that

00:33:28.620 --> 00:33:29.200
 can we

00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:29.620
 live

00:33:29.620 --> 00:33:30.259
 by

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:31.059
 that

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:33.200
 that

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:33.519
 the great

00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:33.960
 climax

00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:34.940
 is not

00:33:34.940 --> 00:33:35.440
 here yet

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.140
 we live

00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:37.480
 in the

00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:37.900
 already

00:33:37.900 --> 00:33:39.019
 but not

00:33:39.019 --> 00:33:39.259
 yet

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:41.100
 we're waiting

00:33:41.100 --> 00:33:41.420
 for the

00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:41.740
 moment

00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:42.860
 where our

00:33:42.860 --> 00:33:43.120
 king

00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:43.860
 comes back

00:33:43.860 --> 00:33:44.539
 for us

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:45.380
 and makes

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:46.339
 all wrongs

00:33:46.339 --> 00:33:46.819
 right

00:33:46.819 --> 00:33:49.779
 when you are

00:33:49.779 --> 00:33:50.100
 grieving

00:33:50.100 --> 00:33:51.079
 when you are

00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:51.660
 sojourning

00:33:51.660 --> 00:33:53.220
 can I encourage

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:53.740
 you to look

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:54.259
 at the cross

00:33:54.259 --> 00:33:55.460
 can I

00:33:55.460 --> 00:33:56.019
 encourage you

00:33:56.019 --> 00:33:56.500
 to look

00:33:56.500 --> 00:33:57.120
 at Jesus

00:33:57.120 --> 00:33:58.420
 and see

00:33:58.420 --> 00:33:58.700
 that there

00:33:58.700 --> 00:33:59.299
 is something

00:33:59.299 --> 00:33:59.960
 beyond the

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:00.099
 grave

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:00.400
 can I

00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:00.740
 encourage

00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:01.079
 you to

00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:01.460
 look at

00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:02.000
 the empty

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.339
 tomb

00:34:02.339 --> 00:34:04.640
 and remember

00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:05.039
 there is

00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:05.519
 something

00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:06.200
 beyond

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:06.940
 the grave

00:34:06.940 --> 00:34:10.300
 I'm going

00:34:10.300 --> 00:34:10.980
 to invite

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:11.280
 a dear

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:11.579
 friend

00:34:11.579 --> 00:34:12.099
 up now

00:34:12.099 --> 00:34:12.780
 to have

00:34:12.780 --> 00:34:13.079
 a chat

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:13.679
 I'll tell

00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:13.860
 you what

00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:14.119
 we're trying

00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:14.360
 to do

00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:14.599
 here

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.079
 trying to

00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:16.280
 have

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:17.780
 different ways

00:34:17.780 --> 00:34:18.220
 for us to

00:34:18.220 --> 00:34:18.920
 engage in

00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:19.159
 scripture

00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:19.519
 together

00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:20.519
 and engage

00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:21.300
 with each

00:34:21.300 --> 00:34:21.539
 other

00:34:21.539 --> 00:34:22.099
 together

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:22.219
 together

00:34:22.219 --> 00:34:23.000
 and so

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.299
 we had

00:34:23.299 --> 00:34:23.799
 J1

00:34:23.799 --> 00:34:24.599
 last week

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:25.019
 come and

00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:25.699
 share with

00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:25.980
 us what

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.319
 it means

00:34:26.319 --> 00:34:26.839
 to trust

00:34:26.839 --> 00:34:27.480
 what it

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:27.759
 means to

00:34:27.759 --> 00:34:28.079
 wrestle

00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:28.619
 with that

00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:28.920
 trust

00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:29.880
 and this

00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:30.039
 week

00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:30.299
 I'm going

00:34:30.299 --> 00:34:30.500
 to have

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:31.239
 a dear

00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:31.400
 friend

00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:31.779
 Queenie

00:34:31.779 --> 00:34:32.360
 come up

00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:33.599
 to talk

00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:33.920
 about this

00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:34.199
 passage

00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:34.539
 again

00:34:34.539 --> 00:34:35.839
 I've given

00:34:35.839 --> 00:34:36.539
 some advance

00:34:36.539 --> 00:34:37.239
 notice for

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:37.639
 people who

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.019
 come up

00:34:38.019 --> 00:34:38.440
 they've been

00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:38.960
 chewing over

00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:39.380
 this passage

00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:39.739
 as well

00:34:39.739 --> 00:34:40.619
 and the

00:34:40.619 --> 00:34:40.940
 goal is

00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:41.119
 actually

00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:41.380
 at some

00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:41.500
 point

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:41.699
 maybe

00:34:41.699 --> 00:34:41.940
 there's

00:34:41.940 --> 00:34:42.099
 going to

00:34:42.099 --> 00:34:42.199
 be

00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:42.360
 some

00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:42.759
 Q&A

00:34:42.759 --> 00:34:43.079
 where

00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:43.739
 we can

00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:43.920
 actually

00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:44.159
 talk

00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:44.319
 about

00:34:44.319 --> 00:34:44.460
 this

00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:45.039
 and engage

00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:45.239
 in the

00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:45.400
 word

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:45.659
 of God

00:34:45.659 --> 00:34:45.980
 together

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:46.639
 as a

00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:46.960
 community

00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.079
 once we

00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:49.319
 get to

00:34:49.319 --> 00:34:49.679
 that stage

00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:49.900
 where we

00:34:49.900 --> 00:34:50.039
 have

00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:50.339
 questions

00:34:50.339 --> 00:34:50.559
 coming

00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:50.859
 I can

00:34:50.859 --> 00:34:51.119
 assure

00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:51.279
 you

00:34:51.279 --> 00:34:51.599
 I won't

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:51.779
 know

00:34:51.779 --> 00:34:52.059
 the answer

00:34:52.059 --> 00:34:52.359
 to every

00:34:52.359 --> 00:34:52.679
 question

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.159
 but I

00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:54.400
 think

00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:54.960
 the whole

00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:55.279
 point of

00:34:55.279 --> 00:34:55.539
 this is

00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:55.779
 that we

00:34:55.779 --> 00:34:56.079
 engage

00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:56.219
 with

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:56.420
 scripture

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:56.739
 together

00:34:56.739 --> 00:34:57.019
 and ask

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.299
 the Holy

00:34:57.299 --> 00:34:57.559
 Spirit

00:34:57.559 --> 00:34:57.920
 to guide

00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:58.059
 us

00:34:58.059 --> 00:34:58.159
 and

00:34:58.159 --> 00:34:58.359
 teach

00:34:58.359 --> 00:34:58.519
 us

00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:59.319
 so

00:34:59.319 --> 00:34:59.599
 can we

00:34:59.599 --> 00:34:59.879
 give a

00:34:59.879 --> 00:35:00.699
 warm round

00:35:00.699 --> 00:35:01.019
 of applause

00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:01.420
 to Queenie

00:35:01.420 --> 00:35:07.839
 hello

00:35:07.839 --> 00:35:08.039
 hello

00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:08.420
 Queenie

00:35:08.420 --> 00:35:10.460
 I always

00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:10.659
 like to

00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:10.980
 joke about

00:35:10.980 --> 00:35:11.239
 what you

00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:11.480
 do

00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:12.940
 but I

00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:13.079
 would

00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:13.219
 love

00:35:13.219 --> 00:35:13.339
 you

00:35:13.339 --> 00:35:13.539
 to

00:35:13.539 --> 00:35:13.879
 introduce

00:35:13.879 --> 00:35:14.440
 yourself

00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:14.639
 to

00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:14.739
 the

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:14.960
 people

00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:15.259
 and

00:35:15.259 --> 00:35:15.579
 what

00:35:15.579 --> 00:35:15.699
 it

00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:15.819
 is

00:35:15.819 --> 00:35:15.819


00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:17.039
 God

00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:17.179
 has

00:35:17.179 --> 00:35:17.579
 called

00:35:17.579 --> 00:35:17.699
 you

00:35:17.699 --> 00:35:17.819
 to

00:35:17.819 --> 00:35:18.019
 do

00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:18.319
 in

00:35:18.319 --> 00:35:18.440
 the

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:18.639
 place

00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:18.839
 you

00:35:18.839 --> 00:35:18.900
 are

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:19.139
 working

00:35:19.139 --> 00:35:20.759
 thanks

00:35:20.759 --> 00:35:21.059
 James

00:35:21.059 --> 00:35:21.960
 I'm

00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:22.139
 a

00:35:22.139 --> 00:35:22.559
 barrister

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:23.179
 I'm

00:35:23.179 --> 00:35:23.339
 the

00:35:23.339 --> 00:35:23.980
 lawyer

00:35:23.980 --> 00:35:24.239
 that

00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:24.480
 goes

00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:24.639
 to

00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:57.559
 that

00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:57.940
 not

00:36:57.940 --> 00:36:58.259
 everyone

00:36:58.259 --> 00:36:58.639

00:36:58.639 --> 00:36:58.799
 by

00:36:58.940 --> 00:36:59.239
 rules

00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:00.400
 so

00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:00.579
 as

00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:00.719
 a

00:37:01.619 --> 00:37:01.779
 is

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:02.239
 do

00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:02.400
 what

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:02.519
 I

00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:02.819
 can

00:37:02.819 --> 00:37:02.980
 for

00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:09.759

00:37:09.759 --> 00:37:10.059
 actually

00:37:10.059 --> 00:37:10.359
 just

00:37:10.359 --> 00:37:10.679
 even

00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:11.059
 doing

00:37:11.839 --> 00:37:12.000
 I'm

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:12.099
 supposed

00:37:12.179 --> 00:37:12.259
 be

00:37:12.259 --> 00:37:12.500
 doing

00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:12.819
 I

00:37:12.819 --> 00:37:12.980
 think

00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:13.199
 that

00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:13.380
 in

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:13.799
 itself

00:37:13.799 --> 00:37:14.339
 is

00:37:14.339 --> 00:37:15.079
 something

00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:15.339
 it

00:37:15.339 --> 00:37:15.559
 counts

00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:15.679
 for

00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:16.059
 something

00:37:16.059 --> 00:37:16.779
 you

00:37:16.779 --> 00:37:16.960
 say

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:17.119
 that

00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:17.319
 so

00:37:17.319 --> 00:37:17.619
 easily

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:17.920
 but

00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:18.219
 I

00:37:18.219 --> 00:37:18.500
 can't

00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:18.739
 imagine

00:37:18.739 --> 00:37:18.859
 that

00:37:18.859 --> 00:37:19.019
 being

00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:19.279
 easy

00:37:19.279 --> 00:37:19.579
 when

00:37:19.579 --> 00:37:20.039
 someone

00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:21.219
 takes

00:37:21.219 --> 00:37:21.500
 the gloves

00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:21.759
 off

00:37:21.759 --> 00:37:22.579
 and

00:37:22.579 --> 00:37:22.759
 does

00:37:22.759 --> 00:37:23.039
 something

00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:23.299
 that

00:37:23.299 --> 00:37:24.179
 they

00:37:24.179 --> 00:37:24.380
 do

00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:25.099
 what's

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:25.219
 your

00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:25.559
 response

00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:26.239
 how's

00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:26.359
 your

00:37:26.359 --> 00:37:26.819
 process

00:37:26.819 --> 00:37:27.639
 in

00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:28.039
 responding

00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:28.219
 to

00:37:28.219 --> 00:37:28.420
 it

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:29.380
 I'm

00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:31.019
 trying

00:37:31.019 --> 00:37:31.159
 to

00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:31.359
 think

00:37:31.359 --> 00:37:31.559
 of

00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:31.960
 a

00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:32.460
 real

00:37:32.460 --> 00:37:32.659
 life

00:37:32.659 --> 00:37:33.099
 example

00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:33.420
 which

00:37:33.420 --> 00:37:33.539
 is

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:33.920
 when

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:35.139
 someone

00:37:35.139 --> 00:37:35.559
 approached

00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:35.880
 me

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:36.440
 to

00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:36.639
 try

00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:39.679
 in a

00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:39.839
 way

00:37:39.839 --> 00:37:39.980
 that

00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:40.099
 I

00:37:40.099 --> 00:37:40.239
 was

00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:40.400
 not

00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:40.679
 supposed

00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:40.819
 to

00:37:40.819 --> 00:37:40.940
 be

00:37:40.940 --> 00:37:41.179
 taking

00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:41.319
 it

00:37:41.319 --> 00:37:41.420
 I

00:37:41.420 --> 00:37:41.799
 don't

00:37:41.799 --> 00:37:41.940
 want

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:42.019
 to

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:42.119
 go

00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:42.259
 into

00:37:42.259 --> 00:37:42.400
 the

00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:42.699
 details

00:37:42.699 --> 00:37:43.900
 but

00:37:43.900 --> 00:37:44.039
 in

00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:44.159
 a

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:44.420
 nutshell

00:37:44.420 --> 00:37:44.980
 I

00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:45.259
 just

00:37:45.259 --> 00:37:45.539
 said

00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:46.319
 no

00:37:46.319 --> 00:37:46.599
 and

00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:46.679
 I

00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:46.819
 just

00:37:46.819 --> 00:37:47.259
 extracted

00:37:47.259 --> 00:37:47.739
 myself

00:37:47.739 --> 00:37:48.179
 from

00:37:48.179 --> 00:37:48.339
 the

00:37:48.339 --> 00:37:49.179
 situation

00:37:49.179 --> 00:37:49.920
 and

00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:50.039
 I

00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:50.380
 told

00:37:50.380 --> 00:37:50.839
 the

00:37:50.839 --> 00:37:51.460
 receptionist

00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:52.019
 if

00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:52.199
 this

00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:53.019
 person

00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:53.259
 ever

00:37:53.259 --> 00:37:53.519
 calls

00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:53.900
 again

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:54.699
 then

00:37:54.699 --> 00:37:55.239
 don't

00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:55.440
 put

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:55.859
 the

00:37:55.859 --> 00:37:56.059
 call

00:37:56.059 --> 00:37:56.380
 through

00:37:56.380 --> 00:37:56.960
 so

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.099
 I

00:37:57.099 --> 00:37:57.299
 think

00:37:57.299 --> 00:37:57.980
 sometimes

00:37:57.980 --> 00:37:58.920
 it's

00:37:58.920 --> 00:37:59.159
 about

00:37:59.159 --> 00:37:59.980
 extracting

00:37:59.980 --> 00:38:00.719
 oneself

00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:01.219
 from

00:38:01.219 --> 00:38:01.440
 that

00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:01.859
 situation

00:38:01.859 --> 00:38:02.339
 not

00:38:02.339 --> 00:38:02.779
 every

00:38:02.779 --> 00:38:03.239
 situation

00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:03.420
 you

00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:03.579
 can

00:38:03.579 --> 00:38:03.980
 get

00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:04.179
 out

00:38:04.179 --> 00:38:04.460
 of

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:04.699
 but

00:38:04.699 --> 00:38:05.259
 if

00:38:05.259 --> 00:38:05.419
 there

00:38:05.419 --> 00:38:05.599
 are

00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:05.899
 ways

00:38:05.899 --> 00:38:06.059
 to

00:38:06.059 --> 00:38:06.199
 get

00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:06.379
 out

00:38:06.379 --> 00:38:06.519
 of

00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:06.759
 it

00:38:06.759 --> 00:38:07.279
 and

00:38:07.279 --> 00:38:07.399
 to

00:38:07.399 --> 00:38:07.699
 protect

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:08.079
 oneself

00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:08.460
 from

00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:08.759
 that

00:38:08.759 --> 00:38:09.339
 I

00:38:09.339 --> 00:38:09.460
 think

00:38:09.460 --> 00:38:09.599
 that's

00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:09.839
 one

00:38:09.839 --> 00:38:10.159
 way

00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:10.659
 forward

00:38:10.659 --> 00:38:11.139
 but

00:38:11.139 --> 00:38:11.299
 I'm

00:38:11.299 --> 00:38:11.519
 assuming

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:11.719
 when

00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:11.819
 you

00:38:11.819 --> 00:38:12.019
 make

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:12.179
 that

00:38:12.179 --> 00:38:12.500
 decision

00:38:12.500 --> 00:38:12.699
 to

00:38:12.699 --> 00:38:13.000
 extract

00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:13.439
 oneself

00:38:13.439 --> 00:38:14.000
 it

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.539
 most

00:38:14.539 --> 00:38:14.839
 often

00:38:14.839 --> 00:38:15.539
 probably

00:38:15.539 --> 00:38:15.799
 comes

00:38:15.799 --> 00:38:15.899
 with

00:38:15.899 --> 00:38:16.000
 a

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:16.319
 cost

00:38:16.319 --> 00:38:16.839
 is that

00:38:16.839 --> 00:38:16.980
 right

00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:17.279
 yeah

00:38:17.279 --> 00:38:18.219
 it

00:38:18.219 --> 00:38:18.480
 does

00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:18.659
 I

00:38:18.659 --> 00:38:18.759
 mean

00:38:18.759 --> 00:38:19.039
 it

00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:19.359
 happened

00:38:19.359 --> 00:38:20.079
 very

00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:20.399
 early

00:38:20.399 --> 00:38:20.619
 on

00:38:20.619 --> 00:38:20.739
 in

00:38:20.739 --> 00:38:20.899
 my

00:38:20.899 --> 00:38:21.259
 career

00:38:21.259 --> 00:38:22.899
 so

00:38:22.899 --> 00:38:23.259
 in

00:38:23.259 --> 00:38:23.599
 theory

00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:23.939
 things

00:38:23.939 --> 00:38:24.159
 like

00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:25.039
 do

00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:25.159
 I

00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:25.339
 get

00:38:25.339 --> 00:38:25.539
 good

00:38:25.539 --> 00:38:25.899
 cases

00:38:25.899 --> 00:38:26.139
 do

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:26.379
 I

00:38:26.379 --> 00:38:26.839
 get

00:38:26.839 --> 00:38:27.199
 paid

00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:27.219
!

00:38:27.299 --> 00:38:27.500
 etc

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:27.500


00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:28.219
 is

00:38:34.699 --> 00:38:36.699
 I

00:38:36.699 --> 00:38:39.519
 asked

00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:39.639
 you

00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:39.759
 to

00:38:39.759 --> 00:38:39.899
 look

00:38:39.899 --> 00:38:40.000
 at

00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:40.239
 Genesis

00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:40.699
 23

00:38:40.699 --> 00:38:40.960
 and

00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:41.159
 just

00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:41.379
 to

00:38:41.379 --> 00:38:41.939
 meditate

00:38:41.939 --> 00:38:42.299
 over

00:38:42.299 --> 00:38:42.500
 it

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:43.139
 what

00:38:43.139 --> 00:38:43.500
 stood

00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:43.719
 out

00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:43.859
 to

00:38:43.859 --> 00:38:44.019
 you

00:38:44.019 --> 00:38:44.519
 as

00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:44.659
 you

00:38:44.659 --> 00:38:44.879
 read

00:38:44.879 --> 00:38:45.079
 this

00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:45.379
 chapter

00:38:45.379 --> 00:38:46.639
 I

00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:46.819
 think

00:38:46.819 --> 00:38:47.079
 one

00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:47.199
 of

00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:47.259
 the

00:38:47.259 --> 00:38:47.399
 things

00:38:47.399 --> 00:38:47.519
 that

00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:47.719
 really

00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:47.919
 stood

00:38:47.919 --> 00:38:48.079
 out

00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:48.179
 to

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:48.359
 me

00:38:48.359 --> 00:38:48.599
 is

00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:48.779
 that

00:38:48.779 --> 00:38:49.019
 it's

00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:49.279
 about

00:38:49.279 --> 00:38:49.679
 something

00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:50.000
 quite

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:50.579
 normal

00:38:50.579 --> 00:38:51.259
 you

00:38:51.259 --> 00:38:51.639
 used

00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:51.759
 the

00:38:51.759 --> 00:38:51.919
 word

00:38:51.919 --> 00:38:52.399
 mundane

00:38:52.399 --> 00:38:52.699
 and

00:38:52.699 --> 00:38:52.779
 I

00:39:04.699 --> 00:39:05.000
 most

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:05.579
 things

00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:05.739
 I

00:39:05.739 --> 00:39:06.000
 do

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:07.099
 almost

00:39:07.099 --> 00:39:07.599
 or

00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:07.960
 everything

00:39:11.339 --> 00:39:11.480
 just

00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:11.659
 thinking

00:39:11.659 --> 00:39:11.859

00:39:15.319 --> 00:39:15.779
 spectacular

 but

00:39:16.379 --> 00:39:16.559
 one

00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:16.719
 thing

 I

00:39:16.879 --> 00:39:17.039
 am

00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:17.559
 guaranteed

00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:18.119
 to be

00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:18.279
 able

00:39:18.279 --> 00:39:18.679
 to do

00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:18.980

00:39:18.980 --> 00:39:19.439
 ordinary

00:39:19.439 --> 00:39:20.019
 stuff

00:39:20.019 --> 00:39:20.519
 because

00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:21.559
 work

00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:21.779
 I

 talk

00:39:22.439 --> 00:39:22.579
 to

00:39:22.579 --> 00:39:22.899
 people

00:39:22.899 --> 00:39:23.099
 on

00:39:23.099 --> 00:39:23.199
 a

00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:23.359
 day

 dare

00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:25.159
 say

00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:25.279
 for

00:39:25.279 --> 00:39:25.460
 all

00:39:25.460 --> 00:39:25.579
 of

00:39:25.579 --> 00:39:25.839
 you

00:39:25.839 --> 00:39:26.439
 you

00:39:26.439 --> 00:39:26.619
 may

00:39:26.619 --> 00:39:26.759
 all

00:39:26.759 --> 00:39:26.859
 be

00:39:26.859 --> 00:39:27.119
 doing

00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:27.619
 spectacular

00:39:27.619 --> 00:39:28.159
 things

00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:28.779
 already

00:39:34.699 --> 00:39:36.000
 talk

00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:36.159
 to

00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:36.619
 whoever

00:39:36.619 --> 00:39:37.259
 and

00:39:37.259 --> 00:39:37.779
 so

00:39:37.779 --> 00:39:37.939
 I

00:39:37.939 --> 00:39:38.059
 think

00:39:38.059 --> 00:39:38.379
 how

00:39:38.379 --> 00:39:38.639
 we

00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:39.000
 carry

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:39.500
 ourselves

00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:39.799
 and

00:39:39.799 --> 00:39:40.000
 how

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.159
 we

00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:40.439
 do

00:39:40.439 --> 00:39:40.980
 that

00:39:40.980 --> 00:39:42.039
 is

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:42.299
 something

00:39:42.299 --> 00:39:42.599
 worth

00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:42.899
 thinking

00:39:42.899 --> 00:39:43.279
 about

00:39:43.279 --> 00:39:44.279
 and

00:39:44.279 --> 00:39:44.439
 like

00:39:44.439 --> 00:39:44.539
 you

00:39:44.539 --> 00:39:44.659
 were

00:39:44.659 --> 00:39:44.980
 mentioning

00:39:44.980 --> 00:39:45.299
 earlier

00:39:45.299 --> 00:39:45.539
 on

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:45.719
 and

00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:46.019
 there's

00:39:46.019 --> 00:39:46.279
 another

00:39:46.279 --> 00:39:46.519
 thing

00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:46.739
 that

00:39:46.739 --> 00:39:46.939
 stood

00:39:46.939 --> 00:39:47.099
 out

00:39:47.099 --> 00:39:47.199
 to

00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:47.359
 me

00:39:47.359 --> 00:39:48.139
 is

00:39:48.139 --> 00:39:48.339
 how

00:39:48.339 --> 00:39:48.519
 the

00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:49.079
 Hittites

00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:49.500
 who I

00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:49.839
 assume

00:39:49.839 --> 00:39:50.019
 are

00:39:50.019 --> 00:39:50.839
 non-Christians

00:39:50.839 --> 00:39:51.119
 etc

00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:51.919
 how they

00:39:51.919 --> 00:39:52.779
 described

00:39:52.779 --> 00:39:53.339
 Abraham

00:39:53.339 --> 00:39:54.299
 and

00:39:54.299 --> 00:39:54.500
 they

00:39:54.500 --> 00:39:55.000
 described

00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:55.339
 him

00:39:55.339 --> 00:39:55.819
 as

00:39:55.819 --> 00:39:56.439
 prince

00:39:56.439 --> 00:39:56.639
 of

00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:57.019
 God

00:39:57.019 --> 00:39:57.919
 I

00:39:57.919 --> 00:39:58.079
 think

00:39:58.079 --> 00:39:58.399
 some

00:39:58.399 --> 00:39:59.019
 translations

00:39:59.019 --> 00:39:59.319
 say

00:39:59.319 --> 00:39:59.599
 mighty

00:39:59.599 --> 00:39:59.980
 prince

00:39:59.980 --> 00:40:00.279
 etc

00:40:00.279 --> 00:40:00.639
 but I

00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:00.799
 think

00:40:00.799 --> 00:40:01.139
 it

00:40:01.139 --> 00:40:01.339
 does

00:40:01.339 --> 00:40:01.539
 have

00:40:01.539 --> 00:40:01.679
 the

00:40:04.699 --> 00:40:05.699
 there

00:40:05.699 --> 00:40:05.879
 is

00:40:05.879 --> 00:40:05.980
 a

00:40:05.980 --> 00:40:06.279
 reference

00:40:06.279 --> 00:40:06.500
 to

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:06.759
 God

00:40:06.759 --> 00:40:06.939
 and

00:40:06.939 --> 00:40:07.500
 like

00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:07.599
 you

00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:07.719
 were

00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:08.000
 saying

00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:08.519
 part

00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:08.659
 of

00:40:08.659 --> 00:40:08.839
 it

00:40:08.839 --> 00:40:09.119
 was

00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:09.379
 probably

00:40:09.379 --> 00:40:09.759
 because

00:40:09.759 --> 00:40:09.939
 he

00:40:09.939 --> 00:40:10.139
 was

00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:10.379
 very

00:40:10.379 --> 00:40:10.859
 successful

00:40:10.859 --> 00:40:11.179
 he

00:40:11.179 --> 00:40:11.319
 was

00:40:11.319 --> 00:40:11.480
 doing

00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:11.699
 very

00:40:11.699 --> 00:40:12.179
 well

00:40:12.179 --> 00:40:12.480
 he

00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:12.699
 was

00:40:12.699 --> 00:40:12.859
 very

00:40:12.859 --> 00:40:13.179
 wealthy

00:40:13.179 --> 00:40:13.519
 all the

00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:13.679
 rest

00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:13.980
 of it

00:40:13.980 --> 00:40:14.799
 but

00:40:14.799 --> 00:40:15.539
 it

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:15.739
 didn't

00:40:15.739 --> 00:40:15.899
 just

00:40:15.899 --> 00:40:16.039
 say

00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:16.179
 you

00:40:16.179 --> 00:40:16.559
 amazing

00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:17.019
 person

00:40:17.019 --> 00:40:17.399
 or you

00:40:17.399 --> 00:40:17.779
 prince

00:40:17.779 --> 00:40:18.819
 prince

00:40:18.819 --> 00:40:19.159
 of

00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:19.539
 God

00:40:19.539 --> 00:40:20.099
 and

00:40:20.099 --> 00:40:20.219
 so

00:40:20.219 --> 00:40:20.639
 somehow

00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:21.119
 they

00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:21.619
 recognized

00:40:21.619 --> 00:40:21.960
 that

00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:22.099
 there

00:40:22.099 --> 00:40:22.219
 was

00:40:22.219 --> 00:40:22.659
 something

00:40:22.659 --> 00:40:23.099
 about

00:40:23.099 --> 00:40:23.460
 him

00:40:23.460 --> 00:40:24.059
 that

00:40:24.059 --> 00:40:24.739
 came

00:40:24.739 --> 00:40:25.079
 from

00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:25.379
 this

00:40:25.379 --> 00:40:25.639
 God

00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:25.799
 that

00:40:25.799 --> 00:40:25.899
 they

00:40:25.899 --> 00:40:26.039
 didn't

00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:26.259
 even

00:40:26.259 --> 00:40:26.500
 really

00:40:26.500 --> 00:40:26.819
 know

00:40:26.819 --> 00:40:26.839
!

00:40:34.699 --> 00:40:35.419
 how

00:40:35.419 --> 00:40:36.119
 do

00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:36.239
 I

00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:36.419
 do

00:40:36.419 --> 00:40:36.599
 it

00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:37.259
 and

00:40:37.259 --> 00:40:37.879
 what

00:40:37.879 --> 00:40:39.119
 impression

00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:39.339
 do

00:40:39.339 --> 00:40:39.419
 I

00:40:39.419 --> 00:40:39.579
 give

00:40:39.579 --> 00:40:39.679
 to

00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:39.899
 people

00:40:39.899 --> 00:40:40.099
 what

00:40:40.099 --> 00:40:40.199
 do

00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:40.299
 I

00:40:40.299 --> 00:40:40.460
 make

00:40:40.460 --> 00:40:40.739
 people

00:40:40.739 --> 00:40:41.019
 think

00:40:41.019 --> 00:40:41.279
 of

00:40:41.279 --> 00:40:41.460
 can

00:40:41.460 --> 00:40:41.579
 I

00:40:41.579 --> 00:40:41.739
 just

00:40:41.739 --> 00:40:42.079
 reflect

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:42.279
 a

00:40:42.279 --> 00:40:42.559
 little

00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:42.759
 bit

00:40:42.759 --> 00:40:42.879
 of

00:40:42.879 --> 00:40:43.179
 God

00:40:43.179 --> 00:40:43.839
 and

00:40:43.839 --> 00:40:44.059
 if

00:40:44.059 --> 00:40:44.119
 I

00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:44.239
 can

00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:44.399
 just

00:40:44.399 --> 00:40:44.539
 do

00:40:44.539 --> 00:40:44.679
 a

00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:44.980
 little

00:40:44.980 --> 00:40:45.179
 bit

00:40:45.179 --> 00:40:45.299
 of

00:40:45.299 --> 00:40:45.539
 that

00:40:45.539 --> 00:40:45.779
 then

00:40:45.779 --> 00:40:45.879
 I

00:40:45.879 --> 00:40:46.039
 think

00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:46.339
 it's

00:40:46.339 --> 00:40:47.000
 what

00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:47.119
 I'm

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:47.319
 trying

00:40:47.319 --> 00:40:47.739
 to do

00:40:47.739 --> 00:40:48.439
 I

00:40:48.439 --> 00:40:48.699
 suspect

00:40:48.699 --> 00:40:49.539
 a lot

00:40:49.539 --> 00:40:49.619
 of

00:40:49.619 --> 00:40:49.879
 people

00:40:49.879 --> 00:40:50.359
 will

00:40:50.359 --> 00:40:50.719
 agree

00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:50.879
 with

00:40:50.879 --> 00:40:50.980
 you

00:40:50.980 --> 00:40:51.079
 in

00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:51.179
 the

00:40:51.179 --> 00:40:51.339
 sense

00:40:51.339 --> 00:40:51.480
 that

00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:51.719
 most

00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:51.859
 of

00:40:51.859 --> 00:40:52.000
 our

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:52.239
 lives

00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:52.399
 we're

00:40:52.399 --> 00:40:52.659
 living

00:40:52.659 --> 00:40:53.519
 somewhat

00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:54.019
 mundane

00:40:54.019 --> 00:40:54.399
 lives

00:40:54.399 --> 00:40:54.599
 doing

00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:54.960
 repetitive

00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:55.420
 things

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:56.159
 especially

00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:56.400
 in the

00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:56.539
 field

00:40:56.539 --> 00:40:56.679
 of

00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:56.860
 law

00:40:56.860 --> 00:40:58.900
 I'm

00:40:58.900 --> 00:40:59.059
 just

00:40:59.059 --> 00:40:59.400
 imagining

00:40:59.400 --> 00:40:59.920
 documents

00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:00.940
 you live

00:41:00.940 --> 00:41:01.099
 in a

00:41:01.099 --> 00:41:01.280
 world

00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:01.400
 of

00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:01.579
 black

00:41:01.579 --> 00:41:01.699
 and

00:41:01.699 --> 00:41:01.900
 white

00:41:01.900 --> 00:41:02.039
 but

00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:02.119
 you

00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:02.519
 live

00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:02.659
 in

00:41:02.659 --> 00:41:02.720
 a

00:41:02.720 --> 00:41:02.900
 very

00:41:02.900 --> 00:41:03.300
 colourful

00:41:03.300 --> 00:41:03.559
 way

00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:05.260
 tell me

00:41:05.260 --> 00:41:06.000
 when

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:06.220
 you're

00:41:06.220 --> 00:41:06.480
 dealing

00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:06.920
 with

00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:08.460
 contracts

00:41:08.460 --> 00:41:08.720
 and

00:41:08.720 --> 00:41:09.139
 people

00:41:09.139 --> 00:41:09.400
 and

00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:09.659
 things

00:41:09.659 --> 00:41:09.780
 that

00:41:09.780 --> 00:41:09.920
 are

00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:10.220
 seemingly

00:41:10.220 --> 00:41:10.599
 mundane

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:10.760
 and

00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:10.860
 we

00:41:10.860 --> 00:41:11.039
 all

00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:11.220
 have

00:41:11.220 --> 00:41:11.480
 our

00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:12.019
 equivalents

00:41:12.019 --> 00:41:12.179
 to

00:41:12.179 --> 00:41:12.400
 those

00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:12.659
 things

00:41:12.659 --> 00:41:14.699
 what

00:41:14.699 --> 00:41:14.820
 do

00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:14.920
 you

00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:15.199
 remind

00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:15.579
 yourself

00:41:15.579 --> 00:41:16.400
 in

00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:16.579
 terms

00:41:16.579 --> 00:41:16.679
 of

00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:17.199
 to

00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:17.519
 bring

00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:17.840
 colour

00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:18.099
 into

00:41:18.099 --> 00:41:18.240
 your

00:41:18.240 --> 00:41:18.380
 life

00:41:18.380 --> 00:41:18.500
 and

00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:18.599
 to

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:18.740
 bring

00:41:18.740 --> 00:41:19.179
 purpose

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:19.599
 into

00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:19.740
 your

00:41:19.740 --> 00:41:19.920
 life

00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:19.920


00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:21.000
 I

00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:21.139
 think

00:41:21.139 --> 00:41:21.340
 one

00:41:21.340 --> 00:41:21.460
 of

00:41:21.460 --> 00:41:21.559
 the

00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:21.820
 things

00:41:21.820 --> 00:41:22.059
 is

00:41:22.059 --> 00:41:22.179
 to

00:41:22.179 --> 00:41:22.360
 think

00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:22.619
 about

00:41:22.619 --> 00:41:22.940
 what

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:23.480
 God

00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:23.639
 has

00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:23.920
 called

00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:24.079
 me

00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:24.219
 to

00:41:24.219 --> 00:41:24.460
 do

00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:25.460
 and

00:41:25.460 --> 00:41:25.599
 the

00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:25.840
 way

00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:26.179
 God

00:41:26.179 --> 00:41:26.480
 brought

00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:26.679
 me

00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:26.860
 into

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:27.079
 this

00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:27.539
 profession

00:41:27.539 --> 00:41:28.280
 into

00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:28.519
 my

00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:28.880
 particular

00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:29.320
 working

00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:30.019
 place

00:41:30.019 --> 00:41:30.960
 all that

00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:31.139
 sort of

00:41:31.139 --> 00:41:31.300
 thing

00:41:31.300 --> 00:41:31.579
 I

00:41:31.579 --> 00:41:32.280
 definitely

00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:32.699
 see

00:41:32.699 --> 00:41:33.059
 God's

00:41:33.059 --> 00:41:33.480
 fingerprints

00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:34.300
 all over

00:41:34.300 --> 00:41:34.559
 it

00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:34.800
 and

00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:34.920
 it's

00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:35.119
 definitely

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:35.460
 him

00:41:35.460 --> 00:41:35.920
 who

00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:36.300
 brought

00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:36.579
 me

00:41:36.579 --> 00:41:36.880
 to

00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:37.079
 this

00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:37.440
 profession

00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:37.820
 and

00:41:37.820 --> 00:41:38.159
 to

00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:38.320
 my

00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:38.659
 particular

00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:39.079
 chambers

00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:39.960
 and

00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:40.079
 so

00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:40.179
 I

00:41:40.179 --> 00:41:40.300
 think

00:41:40.300 --> 00:41:40.559
 that

00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:40.880
 helps

00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.019
 me

00:41:41.019 --> 00:41:41.440
 remember

00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:41.760
 that

00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:42.039
 I'm

00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:42.360
 here

00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:42.579
 not

00:41:42.579 --> 00:41:42.780
 just

00:41:42.780 --> 00:41:43.099
 because

00:41:43.099 --> 00:41:43.380
 I have

00:41:43.380 --> 00:41:43.539
 nothing

00:41:43.539 --> 00:41:43.739
 better

00:41:43.739 --> 00:41:44.059
 to do

00:41:44.059 --> 00:41:44.960
 with

00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:45.119
 my

00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:45.400
 life

00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:46.099
 but

00:41:46.099 --> 00:41:46.239
 I'm

00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:46.400
 here

00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:46.679
 because

00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:46.960
 God

00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:47.199
 put

00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:47.360
 me

00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:47.659
 there

00:41:47.659 --> 00:41:48.259
 and

00:41:48.259 --> 00:41:48.400
 then

00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:48.519
 I

00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:48.719
 want

00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:48.840
 to

00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:49.039
 see

00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:49.539
 what

00:41:49.539 --> 00:41:50.000
 is

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:50.279
 God

00:41:50.279 --> 00:41:50.860
 wanting

00:41:50.860 --> 00:41:51.019
 to

00:41:51.019 --> 00:41:51.159
 do

00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:51.300
 in

00:41:51.300 --> 00:41:51.440
 my

00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:51.800
 life

00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:53.000
 and

00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:53.139
 so

00:41:53.139 --> 00:41:53.699
 a lot

00:41:53.699 --> 00:41:53.800
 of

00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:53.880
 it

00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:53.960
 is

00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:54.159
 also

00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:54.539
 trying

00:41:54.539 --> 00:41:54.699
 to

00:41:54.699 --> 00:41:55.079
 be

00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:55.840
 aware

00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:56.279
 and

00:41:56.279 --> 00:41:56.599
 trying

00:41:56.599 --> 00:41:56.800
 to

00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:56.960
 be

00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:57.380
 open

00:41:57.380 --> 00:41:57.940
 to

00:41:57.940 --> 00:41:58.539
 spotting

00:41:58.539 --> 00:41:58.920
 whatever

00:41:58.920 --> 00:41:59.079
 it

00:41:59.079 --> 00:41:59.320
 is

00:41:59.320 --> 00:41:59.519
 that

00:41:59.519 --> 00:41:59.719
 he's

00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:00.019
 doing

00:42:00.019 --> 00:42:00.599
 and

00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:01.019
 sometimes

00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:01.239
 it

00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:01.360
 can

00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:01.559
 just

00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:01.840
 be

00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:02.699
 something

00:42:02.699 --> 00:42:03.039
 completely

00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:03.519
 unexpected

00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:03.900
 it

00:42:03.900 --> 00:42:04.039
 can

00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:04.400
 be

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:04.880
 just

00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:05.000
 a

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:05.480
 conversation

00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:06.159
 that

00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:06.239
 I

00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:06.500
 decide

00:42:06.500 --> 00:42:06.639
 to

00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:06.800
 pick

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:07.080
 up

00:42:07.080 --> 00:42:07.780
 and

00:42:07.780 --> 00:42:07.940
 then

00:42:07.940 --> 00:42:08.080
 I

00:42:08.080 --> 00:42:08.480
 decide

00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:08.680
 to

00:42:08.680 --> 00:42:08.820
 pick

00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:08.920
 it

00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:09.060
 up

00:42:09.060 --> 00:42:09.260
 and

00:42:09.260 --> 00:42:09.620
 then

00:42:09.620 --> 00:42:09.860
 a

00:42:09.860 --> 00:42:10.140
 friendship

00:42:10.140 --> 00:42:10.680
 builds

00:42:10.680 --> 00:42:11.300
 and

00:42:11.300 --> 00:42:11.440
 then

00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:11.519
 a

00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:11.680
 really

00:42:11.680 --> 00:42:11.880
 deep

00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:12.200
 friendship

00:42:12.200 --> 00:42:12.660
 builds

00:42:12.660 --> 00:42:12.880
 and

00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:14.280
 yeah

00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:14.560
 so

00:42:14.560 --> 00:42:14.720
 that

00:42:14.720 --> 00:42:15.120
 does

00:42:15.120 --> 00:42:15.420
 happen

00:42:15.420 --> 00:42:15.640
 and

00:42:15.640 --> 00:42:15.820
 it

00:42:15.820 --> 00:42:16.000
 has

00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:16.320
 happened

00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:16.519
 and

00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:16.680
 I

00:42:16.680 --> 00:42:16.880
 hope

00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:17.100
 will

00:42:17.100 --> 00:42:17.400
 continue

00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:17.840
 to

00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:18.180
 happen

00:42:18.180 --> 00:42:19.180
 you

00:42:19.180 --> 00:42:19.440
 made me

00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:19.640
 think

00:42:19.640 --> 00:42:19.800
 that

00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:19.980
 even

00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:20.160
 though

00:42:20.160 --> 00:42:20.300
 we

00:42:20.300 --> 00:42:20.700
 live in

00:42:20.700 --> 00:42:20.800
 the

00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:21.100
 physical

00:42:21.100 --> 00:42:21.380
 realm

00:42:21.380 --> 00:42:21.680
 dealing

00:42:21.680 --> 00:42:21.900
 with

00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:22.019
 the

00:42:22.019 --> 00:42:22.260
 physical

00:42:22.260 --> 00:42:22.600
 things

00:42:22.600 --> 00:42:22.780
 but

00:42:22.780 --> 00:42:22.940
 when

00:42:22.940 --> 00:42:23.100
 you

00:42:23.100 --> 00:42:23.420
 live

00:42:23.420 --> 00:42:23.640
 with

00:42:23.640 --> 00:42:24.039
 eternity

00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:24.560
 in

00:42:24.560 --> 00:42:24.900
 mind

00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:25.180
 the

00:42:25.180 --> 00:42:25.880
 possibilities

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:26.160
 end

00:42:26.160 --> 00:42:26.260
 of

00:42:26.260 --> 00:42:26.400
 being

00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:26.680
 endless

00:42:26.680 --> 00:42:26.860
 you

00:42:26.860 --> 00:42:27.140
 actually

00:42:27.140 --> 00:42:27.460
 don't

00:42:27.460 --> 00:42:27.760
 know

00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:28.539
 when

00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:37.720
 were there

00:42:37.720 --> 00:42:37.860
 any

00:42:37.860 --> 00:42:38.060
 things

00:42:38.060 --> 00:42:38.220
 that

00:42:38.220 --> 00:42:38.580
 actually

00:42:38.580 --> 00:42:39.019
 troubled

00:42:39.019 --> 00:42:39.220
 you

00:42:39.220 --> 00:42:39.400
 or

00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:39.980
 confused

00:42:39.980 --> 00:42:40.460
 you

00:42:40.460 --> 00:42:41.000
 or

00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:41.820
 convicted

00:42:41.820 --> 00:42:42.140
 you

00:42:42.140 --> 00:42:42.560
 anything

00:42:42.560 --> 00:42:42.760
 that

00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:42.940
 comes

00:42:42.940 --> 00:42:43.060
 to

00:42:43.060 --> 00:42:43.220
 mind

00:42:43.220 --> 00:42:45.460
 I

00:42:45.460 --> 00:42:45.760
 think

00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:47.200
 Abraham's

00:42:47.200 --> 00:42:47.680
 humility

00:42:47.680 --> 00:42:48.740
 to

00:42:48.740 --> 00:42:49.019
 these

00:42:49.019 --> 00:42:49.420
 people

00:42:49.420 --> 00:42:49.960
 and

00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:50.400
 his

00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:51.380
 engaging

00:42:51.380 --> 00:42:51.620
 with

00:42:51.620 --> 00:42:51.820
 them

00:42:51.820 --> 00:42:52.400
 in a

00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:52.539
 very

00:42:52.539 --> 00:42:53.039
 respectful

00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:53.500
 way

00:42:53.500 --> 00:42:54.160
 is

00:42:54.160 --> 00:42:54.840
 something

00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:55.080
 that

00:42:55.080 --> 00:42:55.360
 really

00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:56.320
 encouraged

00:42:56.320 --> 00:42:56.580
 me

00:42:56.580 --> 00:42:57.640
 it's

00:42:57.640 --> 00:42:58.220
 easy

00:42:58.220 --> 00:42:58.400
 for

00:42:58.400 --> 00:42:58.600
 people

00:42:58.600 --> 00:42:58.800
 to

00:42:58.800 --> 00:42:59.720
 feel

00:42:59.720 --> 00:43:00.780
 judged

00:43:00.780 --> 00:43:02.140
 when

00:43:02.140 --> 00:43:02.300
 they

00:43:02.300 --> 00:43:02.440
 talk

00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:02.539
 to

00:43:02.539 --> 00:43:02.820
 Christians

00:43:02.820 --> 00:43:03.539
 at

00:43:03.539 --> 00:43:05.620
 the

00:43:05.620 --> 00:43:05.880
 time

00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:06.000
 I

00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:06.180
 was

00:43:06.179 --> 00:43:06.960
 doing

00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:07.279
 something

00:43:07.279 --> 00:43:07.500
 with

00:43:07.500 --> 00:43:07.960
 a

00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:08.279
 Bible

00:43:08.279 --> 00:43:08.579
 study

00:43:08.579 --> 00:43:09.179
 organization

00:43:09.179 --> 00:43:09.480
 that

00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:09.599
 for

00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:09.879
 some

00:43:09.879 --> 00:43:10.759
 utterly

00:43:10.759 --> 00:43:11.000
 silly

00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:11.419
 reason

00:43:11.419 --> 00:43:11.679
 at

00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:11.779
 the

00:43:11.779 --> 00:43:12.059
 times

00:43:12.059 --> 00:43:12.219
 that

00:43:12.219 --> 00:43:12.480
 leaders

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:12.639
 are

00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:12.799
 not

00:43:12.799 --> 00:43:13.039
 allowed

00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:13.219
 to

00:43:13.219 --> 00:43:13.480
 drink

00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:13.699
 for

00:43:13.699 --> 00:43:13.960
 example

00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:14.619
 and

00:43:14.619 --> 00:43:14.919
 so

00:43:14.919 --> 00:43:15.059
 I

00:43:15.059 --> 00:43:15.219
 just

00:43:15.219 --> 00:43:15.319
 had

00:43:15.319 --> 00:43:15.399
 to

00:43:15.399 --> 00:43:15.559
 suck

00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:15.639
 it

00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:15.779
 up

00:43:15.779 --> 00:43:15.940
 and

00:43:15.940 --> 00:43:16.219
 not

00:43:16.219 --> 00:43:16.559
 drink

00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:17.199
 apart

00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:17.339
 from

00:43:17.339 --> 00:43:17.440
 on

00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:17.679
 special

00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:18.139
 occasions

00:43:18.139 --> 00:43:19.239
 but

00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:19.480
 then

00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:20.359
 I

00:43:20.359 --> 00:43:20.919
 discovered

00:43:20.919 --> 00:43:21.139
 that

00:43:21.139 --> 00:43:21.319
 all

00:43:21.319 --> 00:43:21.519
 my

00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:21.899
 friends

00:43:21.899 --> 00:43:22.239
 all

00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:22.460
 my

00:43:22.460 --> 00:43:22.739
 chamber

00:43:22.739 --> 00:43:23.179
 mates

00:43:23.179 --> 00:43:23.879
 they

00:43:23.879 --> 00:43:24.379
 all

00:43:24.379 --> 00:43:25.139
 felt

00:43:25.139 --> 00:43:25.399
 very

00:43:25.399 --> 00:43:26.159
 judged

00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:27.159
 and

00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:27.419
 so

00:43:27.419 --> 00:43:27.579
 I

00:43:27.579 --> 00:43:27.779
 think

00:43:27.779 --> 00:43:28.539
 I

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:29.419
 didn't

00:43:29.419 --> 00:43:29.699
 try

00:43:29.699 --> 00:43:29.980
 and say

00:43:29.980 --> 00:43:30.079
 it

00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:30.179
 in

00:43:30.179 --> 00:43:30.279
 a

00:43:30.279 --> 00:43:31.139
 judgy

00:43:31.139 --> 00:43:31.619
 way

00:43:31.619 --> 00:43:31.839
 but

00:43:36.179 --> 00:43:36.319
 really

00:43:36.319 --> 00:43:36.839
 emphasized

00:43:36.839 --> 00:43:37.440
 for me

00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:37.759
 how

00:43:37.759 --> 00:43:38.199
 actually

00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:39.079
 culture

00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:39.639
 is really

00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:40.099
 important

00:43:40.099 --> 00:43:40.919
 and how

00:43:40.919 --> 00:43:41.599
 to engage

00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:42.239
 with people

00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:42.839
 in a way

00:43:42.839 --> 00:43:44.000
 that enables

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:44.519
 them to

00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:44.759
 feel

00:43:44.759 --> 00:43:45.359
 comfortable

00:43:45.359 --> 00:43:46.119
 I mean

00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:46.739
 not in a

00:43:46.739 --> 00:43:47.019
 kind of

00:43:47.019 --> 00:43:47.599
 you just

00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:48.559
 sin and

00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:48.899
 do crazy

00:43:48.899 --> 00:43:49.159
 things

00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:49.460
 wait

00:43:49.460 --> 00:43:49.699
 but

00:43:49.699 --> 00:43:50.159
 within

00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:50.619
 reason

00:43:50.619 --> 00:43:51.779
 how one

00:43:51.779 --> 00:43:52.299
 can still

00:43:52.299 --> 00:43:52.719
 engage

00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:53.019
 people

00:43:53.019 --> 00:43:53.480
 in their

00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:53.899
 culture

00:43:53.899 --> 00:43:54.440
 and in a

00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:54.579
 way

00:43:54.579 --> 00:43:54.839
 that's

00:43:54.839 --> 00:43:55.279
 respectful

00:43:55.279 --> 00:43:55.940
 to them

00:43:55.940 --> 00:43:56.539
 and that

00:43:56.539 --> 00:43:56.980
 they can

00:43:56.980 --> 00:43:57.639
 find

00:43:57.639 --> 00:43:58.059
 acceptable

00:43:58.059 --> 00:43:58.440
 which I

00:43:58.440 --> 00:43:58.659
 think

00:43:58.659 --> 00:43:59.219
 Abraham

00:43:59.219 --> 00:44:00.000
 really did

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:00.719
 you talk

00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:01.139
 about culture

00:44:01.139 --> 00:44:01.519
 reminds me

00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:01.980
 of a conversation

00:44:01.980 --> 00:44:02.480
 we had

00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:03.399
 last night

00:44:03.399 --> 00:44:04.259
 I feel

00:44:04.259 --> 00:44:04.539
 that there's

00:44:04.539 --> 00:44:04.960
 two groups

00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:05.359
 of people

00:44:05.359 --> 00:44:05.719
 that we

00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:06.159
 always need

00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:07.219
 one is

00:44:07.219 --> 00:44:07.519
 the group

00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:07.859
 of people

00:44:07.859 --> 00:44:08.259
 that are

00:44:08.259 --> 00:44:08.559
 actually

00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:09.119
 sharpeners

00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:09.519
 and keep

00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:09.639
 us

00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:10.039
 accountable

00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:10.719
 and it's

00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:10.879
 the

00:44:10.879 --> 00:44:11.980
 you are

00:44:11.980 --> 00:44:12.440
 the average

00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:12.699
 of the

00:44:12.699 --> 00:44:13.159
 five people

00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:13.519
 you spend

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:13.799
 the most

00:44:13.799 --> 00:44:14.219
 time with

00:44:14.219 --> 00:44:14.859
 so look

00:44:14.859 --> 00:44:15.039
 at the

00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:15.440
 five people

00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:15.719
 you spend

00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:16.000
 the most

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:16.379
 time with

00:44:16.379 --> 00:44:16.839
 and you'll

00:44:16.839 --> 00:44:17.339
 see yourself

00:44:17.339 --> 00:44:18.179
 and that

00:44:18.179 --> 00:44:18.819
 may encourage

00:44:18.819 --> 00:44:18.980
 you

00:44:18.980 --> 00:44:19.319
 and comfort

00:44:19.319 --> 00:44:19.519
 you

00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:19.879
 or it may

00:44:19.879 --> 00:44:20.239
 horrify

00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:20.440
 you

00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:20.920
 and terrify

00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:21.279
 you

00:44:21.279 --> 00:44:22.079
 so have a

00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:22.399
 think about

00:44:22.399 --> 00:44:22.619
 that

00:44:22.619 --> 00:44:23.319
 but there's

00:44:23.319 --> 00:44:23.539
 a group

00:44:23.539 --> 00:44:23.799
 of people

00:44:23.799 --> 00:44:24.279
 who if I

00:44:24.279 --> 00:44:24.619
 want to be

00:44:24.619 --> 00:44:24.940
 that kind

00:44:24.940 --> 00:44:25.259
 of person

00:44:25.259 --> 00:44:25.559
 I need

00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:25.899
 to surround

00:44:25.899 --> 00:44:26.299
 myself

00:44:26.299 --> 00:44:26.779
 with these

00:44:26.779 --> 00:44:27.039
 kind of

00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:27.480
 five people

00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:28.339
 that's

00:44:28.339 --> 00:44:28.679
 one group

00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:29.019
 but then

00:44:29.019 --> 00:44:29.179
 there's

00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:37.559
 and I

00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:37.940
 need my

00:44:37.940 --> 00:44:38.379
 first group

00:44:38.379 --> 00:44:39.259
 to anchor

00:44:39.259 --> 00:44:39.500
 me

00:44:39.500 --> 00:44:40.019
 otherwise

00:44:40.019 --> 00:44:40.339
 I'll lose

00:44:40.339 --> 00:44:40.699
 my way

00:44:40.699 --> 00:44:41.179
 but I

00:44:41.179 --> 00:44:41.619
 also need

00:44:41.619 --> 00:44:42.279
 the second

00:44:42.279 --> 00:44:42.500
 group

00:44:42.500 --> 00:44:42.799
 and you're

00:44:42.799 --> 00:44:43.119
 someone who

00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:43.599
 I know

00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:44.319
 has both

00:44:44.319 --> 00:44:44.799
 a lot

00:44:44.799 --> 00:44:45.000
 right

00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:46.619
 I'm very

00:44:46.619 --> 00:44:47.079
 very blessed

00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:47.480
 with a lot

00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:47.899
 of friends

00:44:47.899 --> 00:44:48.699
 and I would

00:44:48.699 --> 00:44:49.119
 just also

00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:49.500
 add that

00:44:49.500 --> 00:44:50.019
 the whole

00:44:50.019 --> 00:44:50.399
 kind of

00:44:50.399 --> 00:44:50.839
 being

00:44:50.839 --> 00:44:51.839
 part of

00:44:51.839 --> 00:44:52.299
 the culture

00:44:52.299 --> 00:44:53.299
 or somebody

00:44:53.299 --> 00:44:53.899
 that stands

00:44:53.899 --> 00:44:54.059
 out

00:44:54.059 --> 00:44:54.639
 is not

00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:55.079
 mutually

00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:55.639
 exclusive

00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:56.679
 and I

00:44:56.679 --> 00:44:57.139
 think it's

00:44:57.139 --> 00:44:58.179
 learning to

00:44:58.179 --> 00:44:58.659
 try and

00:44:58.659 --> 00:44:59.480
 hold all

00:44:59.480 --> 00:44:59.779
 of this

00:44:59.779 --> 00:45:00.159
 together

00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:01.219
 and trying

00:45:01.219 --> 00:45:01.619
 to marry

00:45:01.619 --> 00:45:01.779
 it

00:45:01.779 --> 00:45:02.079
 together

00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:03.179
 in a way

00:45:03.179 --> 00:45:04.179
 that is

00:45:04.179 --> 00:45:04.519
 helpful

00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:05.399
 to people

00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:06.760
 I also

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:07.440
 as I was

00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:08.000
 hearing you

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:08.220
 talk

00:45:08.220 --> 00:45:08.539
 I'm just

00:45:08.539 --> 00:45:08.900
 imagining

00:45:08.900 --> 00:45:09.300
 Abraham

00:45:09.300 --> 00:45:10.460
 he's grieving

00:45:10.460 --> 00:45:11.160
 he wants to

00:45:11.160 --> 00:45:11.460
 buy this

00:45:11.460 --> 00:45:11.700
 cave

00:45:11.700 --> 00:45:13.420
 and then he

00:45:13.420 --> 00:45:14.240
 agrees on

00:45:14.240 --> 00:45:15.180
 this exorbitant

00:45:15.180 --> 00:45:15.539
 price

00:45:15.539 --> 00:45:16.360
 just imagine

00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:16.940
 all the elders

00:45:16.940 --> 00:45:17.460
 at the gate

00:45:17.460 --> 00:45:18.119
 just kind of

00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:18.780
 sniggering

00:45:18.780 --> 00:45:19.380
 and like

00:45:19.380 --> 00:45:20.380
 almost kind of

00:45:20.380 --> 00:45:20.880
 just chuckling

00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:21.400
 to each other

00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:21.660
 it's like

00:45:21.660 --> 00:45:23.680
 this foreigner

00:45:23.680 --> 00:45:24.139
 doesn't know

00:45:24.139 --> 00:45:24.480
 anything

00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:25.019
 we're going to

00:45:25.019 --> 00:45:26.119
 totally just

00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:27.180
 sell this

00:45:27.180 --> 00:45:27.880
 little way out

00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:28.780
 and yet somehow

00:45:28.780 --> 00:45:29.760
 he lives

00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:30.240
 just like

00:45:30.240 --> 00:45:31.160
 I know

00:45:31.160 --> 00:45:31.579
 and it doesn't

00:45:31.579 --> 00:45:31.840
 matter

00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:32.519
 why

00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:33.400
 because I live

00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:34.019
 with eternity

00:45:34.019 --> 00:45:34.480
 in mind

00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:35.059
 so you can do

00:45:35.059 --> 00:45:35.500
 whatever

00:45:35.500 --> 00:45:36.059
 under the table

00:45:36.059 --> 00:45:36.579
 stuff you do

00:45:36.579 --> 00:45:38.380
 I'm unfazed

00:45:38.380 --> 00:45:38.900
 because I

00:45:38.900 --> 00:45:39.719
 am a child

00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:39.960
 of God

00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:40.380
 I'm a prince

00:45:40.380 --> 00:45:40.699
 of God

00:45:40.699 --> 00:45:41.440
 and I'm not

00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:42.139
 affected by this

00:45:42.139 --> 00:45:43.539
 any final thoughts

00:45:43.539 --> 00:45:43.880
 from you

00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:45.119
 yeah

00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:45.940
 I mean

00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:46.679
 you started

00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:47.119
 by saying

00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:47.599
 this passage

00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:48.299
 is all about

00:45:48.299 --> 00:45:49.039
 grief

00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:50.759
 and

00:45:50.759 --> 00:45:52.840
 actually

00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:53.139
 I wasn't

00:45:53.139 --> 00:45:53.559
 really necessarily

00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:54.019
 going to talk

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:54.360
 about it

00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:54.779
 very much

00:45:54.779 --> 00:45:55.079
 today

00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:56.079
 but the

00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:56.519
 occasion

00:45:56.519 --> 00:45:57.139
 just arose

00:45:57.139 --> 00:45:58.239
 and

00:45:58.239 --> 00:45:59.699
 grief

00:45:59.699 --> 00:46:00.079
 is something

00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:00.860
 that I have

00:46:00.860 --> 00:46:01.679
 wrestled with

00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:02.039
 as well

00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:02.659
 I've actually

00:46:02.659 --> 00:46:03.219
 shared here

00:46:03.219 --> 00:46:03.539
 before

00:46:03.539 --> 00:46:04.000
 so some

00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:04.279
 of you

00:46:04.279 --> 00:46:05.079
 may have

00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:05.380
 shared

00:46:05.380 --> 00:46:07.159
 I lost

00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:07.639
 a very close

00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:07.940
 friend

00:46:07.940 --> 00:46:08.820
 to suicide

00:46:08.820 --> 00:46:09.300
 a couple

00:46:09.300 --> 00:46:09.659
 of years

00:46:09.659 --> 00:46:09.940
 ago

00:46:09.940 --> 00:46:10.539
 actually

00:46:10.539 --> 00:46:10.860
 just when

00:46:10.860 --> 00:46:11.159
 I started

00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:11.559
 coming

00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:12.179
 to the

00:46:12.179 --> 00:46:12.519
 gathering

00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:13.420
 and actually

00:46:13.420 --> 00:46:13.639
 I think

00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:14.259
 this is like

00:46:14.259 --> 00:46:15.000
 probably not

00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:15.380
 the world's

00:46:15.380 --> 00:46:15.860
 best passage

00:46:15.860 --> 00:46:16.219
 on grief

00:46:16.219 --> 00:46:16.599
 in that it

00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:16.920
 just talks

00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:17.219
 about it

00:46:17.219 --> 00:46:17.519
 in about

00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:18.119
 two sentences

00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:19.340
 so this is

00:46:19.340 --> 00:46:20.119
 not the main

00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:20.840
 point of today

00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:21.719
 but it also

00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:22.239
 so happened

00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:22.800
 that just

00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:23.380
 when I was

00:46:23.380 --> 00:46:23.840
 having breakfast

00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:24.400
 with friends

00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:25.659
 my counsellor

00:46:25.659 --> 00:46:26.440
 also told me

00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:27.300
 about a grief

00:46:27.300 --> 00:46:28.059
 support group

00:46:28.059 --> 00:46:28.779
 that she

00:46:28.779 --> 00:46:29.380
 is about

00:46:29.380 --> 00:46:29.940
 to run

00:46:29.940 --> 00:46:30.579
 and so

00:46:30.579 --> 00:46:30.799
 I just

00:46:30.799 --> 00:46:31.299
 also wanted

00:46:31.299 --> 00:46:31.699
 to open

00:46:31.699 --> 00:46:32.179
 that up

00:46:32.179 --> 00:46:32.960
 to anyone

00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:33.320
 who might

00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:33.960
 feel that's

00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:34.279
 helpful

00:46:34.279 --> 00:46:35.579
 the group

00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:36.259
 is for

00:46:36.259 --> 00:46:36.579
 anyone

00:46:36.579 --> 00:46:37.219
 who's lost

00:46:37.219 --> 00:46:37.820
 someone

00:46:37.820 --> 00:46:38.639
 either recently

00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:39.239
 or a long

00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:39.679
 time ago

00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:40.219
 it doesn't

00:46:40.219 --> 00:46:40.559
 have to be

00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:40.900
 recently

00:46:40.900 --> 00:46:42.139
 so it can

00:46:42.139 --> 00:46:42.539
 be both

00:46:42.539 --> 00:46:43.820
 and it's

00:46:43.820 --> 00:46:44.579
 just an

00:46:44.579 --> 00:46:45.099
 occasion

00:46:45.099 --> 00:46:45.960
 and a

00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:46.400
 space

00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:46.920
 where you

00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:47.779
 can explore

00:46:47.779 --> 00:46:48.360
 some of the

00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:48.840
 emotions

00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:49.980
 in you

00:46:49.980 --> 00:46:51.380
 I certainly

00:46:51.380 --> 00:46:52.420
 found that

00:46:52.420 --> 00:46:52.799
 I thought

00:46:52.799 --> 00:46:53.279
 I was okay

00:46:53.279 --> 00:46:53.619
 but then

00:46:53.619 --> 00:46:54.799
 various things

00:46:54.799 --> 00:46:55.000
 happened

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:55.539
 I realised

00:46:55.539 --> 00:46:56.119
 I was not

00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:58.139
 and everyone

00:46:58.139 --> 00:46:58.500
 is at a

00:46:58.500 --> 00:46:59.059
 different place

00:46:59.059 --> 00:46:59.779
 but if

00:46:59.779 --> 00:47:00.299
 anyone is

00:47:00.299 --> 00:47:00.659
 interested

00:47:00.659 --> 00:47:01.519
 please feel

00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:01.779
 free to

00:47:01.779 --> 00:47:02.079
 come and

00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:02.359
 talk to

00:47:02.359 --> 00:47:02.500
 me

00:47:02.500 --> 00:47:03.719
 my counsellor

00:47:03.719 --> 00:47:04.179
 is called

00:47:04.179 --> 00:47:05.000
 Eugenie

00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:05.480
 and then

00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:06.119
 this is going

00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:06.599
 to be held

00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:07.920
 at Watermark's

00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:08.259
 premises

00:47:08.259 --> 00:47:09.179
 in Wangchukhang

00:47:09.179 --> 00:47:09.940
 and there's

00:47:09.940 --> 00:47:10.699
 a little flyer

00:47:10.699 --> 00:47:11.199
 which I can

00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:11.779
 send around

00:47:11.779 --> 00:47:12.219
 in the

00:47:12.219 --> 00:47:12.960
 gathering

00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:13.279
 WhatsApp

00:47:13.279 --> 00:47:13.779
 chat group

00:47:13.779 --> 00:47:14.179
 later on

00:47:14.179 --> 00:47:14.440
 as well

00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:14.719
 but do

00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:14.980
 come and

00:47:14.980 --> 00:47:15.219
 talk to

00:47:15.219 --> 00:47:15.380
 me

00:47:15.380 --> 00:47:15.960
 if anybody

00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:16.500
 is interested

00:47:16.500 --> 00:47:17.099
 it's on

00:47:17.099 --> 00:47:17.940
 Thursdays

00:47:17.940 --> 00:47:18.619
 for six

00:47:18.619 --> 00:47:19.019
 weeks

00:47:19.019 --> 00:47:19.940
 starting on

00:47:19.940 --> 00:47:20.359
 the 10th

00:47:20.359 --> 00:47:20.920
 of September

00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:22.579
 and actually

00:47:22.579 --> 00:47:22.900
 you say

00:47:22.900 --> 00:47:23.239
 it's only

00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:23.579
 the first

00:47:23.579 --> 00:47:23.980
 two verses

00:47:23.980 --> 00:47:24.359
 that talk

00:47:24.359 --> 00:47:24.779
 about grief

00:47:24.779 --> 00:47:25.679
 but I

00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:26.059
 happen to

00:47:26.059 --> 00:47:26.219
 think

00:47:26.219 --> 00:47:26.739
 this whole

00:47:26.739 --> 00:47:27.099
 chapter

00:47:27.099 --> 00:47:28.919
 grief is

00:47:28.919 --> 00:47:29.500
 the springboard

00:47:29.500 --> 00:47:30.919
 as in

00:47:30.919 --> 00:47:31.779
 he loses

00:47:31.779 --> 00:47:32.259
 his wife

00:47:32.259 --> 00:47:33.159
 and it's

00:47:33.159 --> 00:47:33.440
 in that

00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:33.739
 moment

00:47:33.739 --> 00:47:34.259
 having not

00:47:34.259 --> 00:47:34.559
 bought any

00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:34.940
 land for

00:47:34.940 --> 00:47:35.179
 the whole

00:47:35.179 --> 00:47:35.379
 of his

00:47:35.379 --> 00:47:35.559
 life

00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:36.119
 decides

00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:36.779
 now I'm

00:47:36.779 --> 00:47:36.960
 going to

00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:37.339
 do it

00:47:37.339 --> 00:47:38.199
 and I

00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:38.440
 think

00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:39.139
 at least

00:47:39.139 --> 00:47:39.319
 I can

00:47:39.319 --> 00:47:39.639
 speak from

00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:39.919
 personal

00:47:39.919 --> 00:47:40.259
 experience

00:47:40.259 --> 00:47:40.619
 grief I

00:47:40.619 --> 00:47:40.899
 don't think

00:47:40.899 --> 00:47:41.399
 ever ends

00:47:41.399 --> 00:47:43.239
 and I

00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:44.119
 lost my

00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:44.419
 dad in

00:47:44.419 --> 00:47:45.059
 2003

00:47:45.059 --> 00:47:46.699
 and I'll

00:47:46.699 --> 00:47:47.039
 say to

00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:47.359
 this day

00:47:47.359 --> 00:47:48.039
 it's still

00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:48.480
 something that

00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:48.980
 keeps going

00:47:48.980 --> 00:47:49.839
 but I'll

00:47:49.839 --> 00:47:50.259
 say the

00:47:50.259 --> 00:47:50.659
 point of

00:47:50.659 --> 00:47:50.919
 grief

00:47:50.919 --> 00:47:52.199
 is to

00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:52.519
 point us

00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:52.619
 to

00:47:52.619 --> 00:47:53.019
 eternity

00:47:53.019 --> 00:47:54.579
 that loss

00:47:54.579 --> 00:47:54.820
 that we

00:47:54.820 --> 00:47:55.179
 have

00:47:55.179 --> 00:47:57.239
 should remind

00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:57.619
 us of

00:47:57.619 --> 00:47:58.340
 what we

00:47:58.340 --> 00:47:58.800
 have gained

00:47:58.800 --> 00:47:59.679
 in Christ

00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:01.739
 and I

00:48:01.739 --> 00:48:02.500
 think you're

00:48:02.500 --> 00:48:02.659
 right

00:48:02.659 --> 00:48:03.219
 grief doesn't

00:48:03.219 --> 00:48:03.679
 just sort of

00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:04.139
 end

00:48:04.139 --> 00:48:06.179
 and I hate

00:48:06.179 --> 00:48:06.599
 this concept

00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:06.880
 but my

00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:07.320
 counselor keeps

00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:07.719
 talking to me

00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:08.079
 about it

00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:08.579
 and I've

00:48:08.579 --> 00:48:08.860
 sort of

00:48:08.860 --> 00:48:09.739
 come to

00:48:09.739 --> 00:48:10.119
 terms with

00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:10.539
 it a little

00:48:10.539 --> 00:48:10.759
 bit

00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:12.100
 I think

00:48:12.100 --> 00:48:12.960
 is learning

00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:13.580
 to coexist

00:48:13.580 --> 00:48:14.680
 with grief

00:48:14.680 --> 00:48:15.240
 and everything

00:48:15.240 --> 00:48:15.880
 else in

00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:16.140
 life

00:48:16.140 --> 00:48:17.620
 so yeah

00:48:17.620 --> 00:48:18.120
 so even

00:48:18.120 --> 00:48:18.620
 if time

00:48:18.620 --> 00:48:19.120
 has passed

00:48:19.120 --> 00:48:19.380
 etc

00:48:19.380 --> 00:48:20.500
 even if

00:48:20.500 --> 00:48:20.660
 you've

00:48:20.660 --> 00:48:20.920
 been able

00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:21.160
 to do

00:48:21.160 --> 00:48:21.480
 lots of

00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:21.760
 things

00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:22.300
 like Abraham

00:48:22.300 --> 00:48:22.820
 was able

00:48:22.820 --> 00:48:23.220
 to do

00:48:23.220 --> 00:48:23.620
 a whole

00:48:23.620 --> 00:48:23.820
 bunch

00:48:23.820 --> 00:48:24.100
 of things

00:48:24.100 --> 00:48:24.680
 like buy

00:48:24.680 --> 00:48:24.960
 the spots

00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:25.320
 of land

00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:25.620
 etc

00:48:25.620 --> 00:48:25.920
 etc

00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:26.960
 sometimes

00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:27.760
 one still

00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:28.160
 needs to

00:48:28.160 --> 00:48:28.740
 give oneself

00:48:28.740 --> 00:48:29.880
 that space

00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:30.700
 yeah

00:48:30.700 --> 00:48:32.300
 round of applause

00:48:32.300 --> 00:48:32.660
 for Queenie

00:48:32.660 --> 00:48:33.420
 thank you

00:48:33.420 --> 00:48:34.160
 thank you so much

00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:39.119
 so we're

00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:39.339
 going to

00:48:39.339 --> 00:48:40.099
 finish with

00:48:40.099 --> 00:48:40.519
 just a time

00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:41.039
 of response

00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:41.779
 through song

00:48:41.779 --> 00:48:42.079
 now

00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:43.279
 Kelly and

00:48:43.279 --> 00:48:43.559
 the team

00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:43.739
 up

00:48:43.739 --> 00:48:44.539
 but maybe

00:48:44.539 --> 00:48:45.079
 the prompt

00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:45.460
 here is

00:48:45.460 --> 00:48:45.799
 this

00:48:45.799 --> 00:48:48.139
 what is

00:48:48.139 --> 00:48:48.579
 the grief

00:48:48.579 --> 00:48:48.980
 that you're

00:48:48.980 --> 00:48:49.379
 going through

00:48:49.379 --> 00:48:49.679
 as a

00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:50.159
 sojourner

00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.299
 you know

00:48:52.299 --> 00:48:52.639
 maybe

00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:53.299
 you know

00:48:53.299 --> 00:48:53.859
 you may

00:48:53.859 --> 00:48:54.219
 not be

00:48:54.219 --> 00:48:54.659
 a mighty

00:48:54.659 --> 00:48:54.980
 warrior

00:48:54.980 --> 00:48:55.399
 like

00:48:55.399 --> 00:48:56.000
 Odysseus

00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:57.460
 you may

00:48:57.460 --> 00:48:57.779
 not

00:48:57.779 --> 00:48:58.579
 have

00:48:58.579 --> 00:48:58.699
 the

00:48:58.699 --> 00:48:59.099
 resources

00:48:59.099 --> 00:48:59.579
 of

00:48:59.579 --> 00:49:00.079
 Abraham

00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:02.179
 but yet

00:49:02.179 --> 00:49:02.460
 you are

00:49:02.460 --> 00:49:02.759
 grieving

00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:04.260
 that there

00:49:04.260 --> 00:49:04.540
 is

00:49:04.540 --> 00:49:05.200
 loss

00:49:05.200 --> 00:49:05.760
 in your

00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:06.120
 life

00:49:06.120 --> 00:49:09.120
 and I

00:49:09.120 --> 00:49:09.700
 respectfully

00:49:09.700 --> 00:49:10.420
 and lovingly

00:49:10.420 --> 00:49:11.200
 wonder today

00:49:11.200 --> 00:49:11.800
 whether that

00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:12.560
 can point

00:49:12.560 --> 00:49:12.920
 you to

00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:13.380
 eternity

00:49:13.380 --> 00:49:16.500
 where again

00:49:16.500 --> 00:49:17.140
 the passage

00:49:17.140 --> 00:49:17.940
 in Thessalonians

00:49:17.940 --> 00:49:18.400
 hits me

00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:18.920
 every time

00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:19.440
 that we

00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:19.960
 should not

00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:20.640
 be uninformed

00:49:20.640 --> 00:49:21.620
 when we

00:49:21.620 --> 00:49:22.060
 go through

00:49:22.060 --> 00:49:22.380
 grief

00:49:22.380 --> 00:49:22.660
 and when

00:49:22.660 --> 00:49:23.140
 we lose

00:49:23.140 --> 00:49:23.680
 loved ones

00:49:23.680 --> 00:49:24.200
 that we

00:49:24.200 --> 00:49:24.540
 do not

00:49:24.540 --> 00:49:24.820
 grieve

00:49:24.820 --> 00:49:25.240
 as those

00:49:25.240 --> 00:49:25.600
 who have

00:49:25.600 --> 00:49:26.080
 no hope

00:49:26.080 --> 00:49:27.060
 but there

00:49:27.060 --> 00:49:27.400
 is going

00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:27.600
 to be

00:49:27.600 --> 00:49:28.020
 a day

00:49:28.020 --> 00:49:28.940
 where the

00:49:28.940 --> 00:49:29.100
 Lord

00:49:29.100 --> 00:49:29.720
 comes back

00:49:29.720 --> 00:49:30.620
 and wakes

00:49:30.620 --> 00:49:31.020
 us all

00:49:31.020 --> 00:49:31.240
 up

00:49:31.240 --> 00:49:32.020
 and when

00:49:32.020 --> 00:49:32.480
 we wake

00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:32.620
 up

00:49:32.619 --> 00:49:32.779
 we

00:49:32.779 --> 00:49:33.000
 will

00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:33.199
 be

00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:33.380
 in

00:49:33.380 --> 00:49:33.519
 the

00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:33.799
 land

00:49:33.799 --> 00:49:34.059
 of

00:49:34.059 --> 00:49:34.460
 promise

00:49:34.460 --> 00:49:35.819
 what

00:49:35.819 --> 00:49:36.159
 grief

00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:36.359
 can

00:49:36.359 --> 00:49:36.500
 you

00:49:36.500 --> 00:49:36.839
 take

00:49:36.839 --> 00:49:37.539
 to

00:49:37.539 --> 00:49:37.839
 Jesus

00:49:37.839 --> 00:49:38.299
 today

00:49:38.299 --> 00:49:39.579
 what

00:49:39.579 --> 00:49:39.960
 sorrow

00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:40.219
 can

00:49:40.219 --> 00:49:40.359
 you

00:49:40.359 --> 00:49:40.639
 take

00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:40.880
 to

00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:41.199
 Jesus

00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:41.739
 today

00:49:41.739 --> 00:49:43.559
 and in

00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:44.019
 exchange

00:49:44.019 --> 00:49:44.519
 he gives

00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:44.839
 you

00:49:44.839 --> 00:49:46.119
 joy

00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:47.000
 not

00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:47.519
 because

00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:48.420
 he will

00:49:48.420 --> 00:49:48.719
 fulfill

00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:49.380
 your promise

00:49:49.380 --> 00:49:50.900
 but because

00:49:50.900 --> 00:49:51.440
 your promise

00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:51.980
 will be

00:49:51.980 --> 00:49:52.539
 fulfilled

00:49:52.539 --> 00:49:54.460
 in eternity

00:49:54.460 --> 00:49:55.679
 through him

00:49:55.679 --> 00:49:56.319
 and what

00:49:56.319 --> 00:49:56.819
 he did

00:49:56.819 --> 00:49:57.599
 on the

00:49:57.599 --> 00:49:57.900
 cross

00:49:57.900 --> 00:49:58.619
 that allows

00:49:58.619 --> 00:49:59.039
 you to

00:49:59.039 --> 00:49:59.440
 tolerate

00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:00.159
 to fight

00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:00.960
 to survive

00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:01.719
 through the

00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:02.199
 mundane

00:50:02.199 --> 00:50:03.279
 through the

00:50:03.279 --> 00:50:03.679
 pain

00:50:03.679 --> 00:50:06.960
 just imagine

00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:07.539
 for a second

00:50:07.539 --> 00:50:07.939
 with me

00:50:07.939 --> 00:50:08.679
 that we

00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:09.259
 believed

00:50:09.259 --> 00:50:09.799
 in an

00:50:09.799 --> 00:50:10.239
 eternity

00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:11.639
 that actually

00:50:11.639 --> 00:50:12.359
 exists

00:50:12.359 --> 00:50:15.699
 a garden

00:50:15.699 --> 00:50:16.179
 city

00:50:16.179 --> 00:50:16.980
 where there

00:50:16.980 --> 00:50:17.359
 is no

00:50:17.359 --> 00:50:17.919
 pain

00:50:17.919 --> 00:50:18.460
 tears

00:50:18.460 --> 00:50:19.139
 separation

00:50:19.139 --> 00:50:19.739
 anxiety

00:50:19.739 --> 00:50:20.279
 and fear

00:50:20.279 --> 00:50:21.099
 imagine

00:50:21.099 --> 00:50:21.619
 with me

00:50:21.619 --> 00:50:22.980
 if we

00:50:22.980 --> 00:50:23.279
 lived

00:50:23.279 --> 00:50:23.679
 for that

00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:24.059
 day

00:50:24.059 --> 00:50:26.000
 today

00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:31.799
 Jesus

00:50:31.799 --> 00:50:32.159
 we come

00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:32.619
 to you

00:50:32.619 --> 00:50:37.759
 you

00:50:37.759 --> 00:50:38.339
 who designed

00:50:38.339 --> 00:50:38.839
 and built

00:50:38.839 --> 00:50:42.980
 a city

00:50:42.980 --> 00:50:43.619
 a kingdom

00:50:43.619 --> 00:50:44.819
 that has

00:50:44.819 --> 00:50:45.279
 no end

00:50:45.279 --> 00:50:47.460
 that holds

00:50:47.460 --> 00:50:47.960
 justice

00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:48.559
 and love

00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:49.079
 and grace

00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:49.699
 and truth

00:50:49.699 --> 00:50:50.779
 hand

00:50:50.779 --> 00:50:51.279
 in hand

00:50:51.279 --> 00:50:55.539
 where the

00:50:55.539 --> 00:50:55.779
 rivers

00:50:55.779 --> 00:50:56.159
 flow

00:50:56.159 --> 00:51:03.679
 we sit

00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:04.079
 in a moment

00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:04.460
 of grief

00:51:04.460 --> 00:51:04.940
 now knowing

00:51:04.940 --> 00:51:05.139
 that we

00:51:05.139 --> 00:51:05.380
 are not

00:51:05.380 --> 00:51:05.860
 there yet

00:51:05.860 --> 00:51:10.519
 but whilst

00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:10.900
 we sit

00:51:10.900 --> 00:51:11.239
 in the

00:51:11.239 --> 00:51:11.619
 already

00:51:11.619 --> 00:51:12.179
 and not

00:51:12.179 --> 00:51:12.420
 yet

00:51:12.420 --> 00:51:14.219
 we pray

00:51:14.219 --> 00:51:14.559
 that you

00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:15.380
 would give

00:51:15.380 --> 00:51:15.599
 us the

00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:15.860
 wisdom

00:51:15.860 --> 00:51:16.219
 on how

00:51:16.219 --> 00:51:16.679
 to navigate

00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:17.339
 this dark

00:51:17.339 --> 00:51:17.639
 world

00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:18.279
 when sometimes

00:51:18.279 --> 00:51:18.679
 the gloves

00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:19.079
 are off

00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:21.179
 sometimes

00:51:21.179 --> 00:51:21.699
 there is

00:51:21.699 --> 00:51:22.179
 ridicule

00:51:22.179 --> 00:51:22.679
 sometimes

00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:23.319
 there is

00:51:23.319 --> 00:51:26.559
 pain

00:51:26.559 --> 00:51:27.239
 and persecution

00:51:27.239 --> 00:51:28.819
 help us

00:51:28.819 --> 00:51:29.219
 to live

00:51:29.219 --> 00:51:29.980
 as faithful

00:51:29.980 --> 00:51:31.500
 followers

00:51:31.500 --> 00:51:35.379
 pursuing

00:51:35.379 --> 00:51:36.000
 eternity

00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:36.519
 with

00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:37.179
 integrity

00:51:37.179 --> 00:51:40.199
 help us

00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:40.480
 to be

00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:40.939
 in this

00:51:40.939 --> 00:51:41.199
 world

00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:41.699
 but not

00:51:41.699 --> 00:51:42.199
 of this

00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:42.519
 world

00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:46.099
 help us

00:51:46.099 --> 00:51:46.400
 to bring

00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:46.780
 the land

00:51:46.780 --> 00:51:47.280
 of promise

00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:50.699
 into this

00:51:50.699 --> 00:51:51.039
 land of

00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:51.320
 exile

00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:54.840
 we worship

00:51:54.840 --> 00:51:55.179
 you

00:51:55.179 --> 00:51:58.300
 the beginning

00:51:58.300 --> 00:51:58.759
 and the end

00:51:58.759 --> 00:51:59.159
 the alpha

00:51:59.159 --> 00:51:59.619
